Would it help if both instance and class constraints were removed when a 
state is applied? That way you can install a default constraint (can be 
done in the class), this can be overridden by an instance value (both 
constant and constraint) through the normal override behaviour in LzNode 
and you don't get any problems when one of the states get applied.
