Yes, but my suggestion was to make it a continuation of the preceding
sentence (hence I removed the '.'). But it is no huge issue :-) .

Yes, but I would still like to see the word "whatever" in there somewhere,
just to make it clear that there might well be no checks on cancel
messages (and hence no action applicable to Supersedes). That is, in fact,
the common current practice, much as we might wish otherwise :-( .
