-First, no changeset can be in two phases at once. Phases are ordered, so they

-- this is the normal phase of existing changesets. A child changeset can not be

+Phase data is exchanged by pushkey on pull and push. Some servers have
+a publish option set, we call such a server a "publishing server".
+Pushing a draft changeset to a publishing server changes the phase to

 A small list of fact/rules define the exchange of phase:
 
 * old client never changes server states
 * pull never changes server states
-* publish and old server csets are seen as public by client
+* publish and old server changesets are seen as public by client
+* any secret changeset seen in another repository is lowered to at

-* Any secret changeset seens in another repository is lowered to at least draft
