</div>Good points. We could add, at a minimum, the "Connecting...",<br>
"Connected", and "Disconnecting..." states as the secondary text in<br>
the palette. Is this clearer, or should we use "Starting...", "On",<br>
and "Stopping" instead? If we use the former, should we change "Turn<br>
on" and "Turn off"?<br>

<br>
</div>Perhaps. I'm curious to know what info/stages we actually have,<br>
before specifying any design there.<br>
