Taking your revised diagram:
> The following figure shows the normal job state transitions:
>> +--> canceled(7)
> /
> +---> pending(3) --------> processing(5) -----+----> completed(9)
> | ^ ^ \
> --->+ | | +--> aborted(8)
> | v v /
> +---> pendingHeld(4) processingStopped(6) --+
>> <--------------- active -----------------> <--- in-active --->
> Figure 4 - Normal Job State Transitions
>
*and* the associated wording:
> Normally a job progresses only from left to right. Other state transitions
> are unlikely, but are not forbidden. The canceled state can be entered from
> the pending, pendingHeld, processing, or processingStopped states."
together, I think they tell the story we're looking for.
I agree.
