Brian:

I understood the need to detect the TRAIN_DONE primitive in the training state; however, I do not see the reason that a TRAIN or TRAIN_DONE has to be received before exiting this state.  The device will continue sending TRAIN_DONE until a TRAIN_DONE is received, so the device that is later entering the training sequence will see a TRAIN or TRAIN_DONE sequence during its training process, and should be able to train on either pattern.

I would like to see the new item d) in 6.8.4.12.5.

I am sorry that I did not catch this part of your proposal in our discussions on Monday.
