Done. Attached, along with OmniGraffle source.

"Pending" is ambiguous. "Resuming" is pending, so is "suspending". There's
various takes on "defined" and "initial" too... for example if you were to
implement something like the Q-Layer^WSun Cloud API web interface on top of
OCCI then you would likely start by creating and linking a bunch of objects,
none of which would be useful until associated with actual resources - it
would be like a shell/skeleton.

Perhaps this is something worth taking into consideration, though as I'd
rather not impose too much on implementors it probably belongs in the
registry.
