Can I just say that the way that I implemented my UWS server in the past was that the PENDING state was before the job was sent to any backend cluster service  -  part of the point of the UWS is to produce a uniform facade onto other job systems - there might not be an exact match for each of their states - but the intention of PENDING in UWS is that it is a "before everything" state, where in the original conception, all that the UWS server knows about the job is the JDL - i.e. only the business parameters, and none of the desired job control parameters.
