Paragraph (version A):
The group thus evolves from one cryptographic state to another each
time a Commit message is sent and processed.  These states are
referred to as "epochs" and are uniquely identified among states of
the group by four-octet epoch values.  When a new group is
initialized, its initial state epoch 0x00000000.  Each time a state
transition occurs, the epoch number is incremented by one.
Paragraph (version B):
The group thus evolves from one cryptographic state to another each
time a Commit message is sent and processed.  These states are
referred to as "epochs" and are uniquely identified among states of
the group by eight-octet epoch values.  When a new group is
initialized, its initial state epoch 0x0000000000000000.  Each time a
state transition occurs, the epoch number is incremented by one.
