1. Yes, that's right.

2. I planned to negate. That should be:

if ( GetUpdtFlds().IsInUpdateFlds() ||
     IsExpFldsLocked() )


3. IDocumentTimerAccess's patched class-level documentation reads:
    It starts with a mode of 'stopped'
That's wrong, it should be:
    It starts with a mode of 'start'
