Generate Handle / Allow access before committing Item

Grace Hoppers paper has been accepted. The journal requires her to provide accompanying data at a permanent url.  So she uploads the relevant data to her universities DSPACE instance and provides the generated handle to the publisher. The item becomes accessible under the given handle url, so that the journal reviewers can access it. None of the DSPACE pages link to the item though, since it is not fully committed yet. 

During the review process she is asked to change some of her data files:

• change the format of one bitstream,    
• replace the results of a computation with the results of a slightly changed data analysis
• add additional data

After the article is published she adds the DOI and finally marks the item as ready to be committed.

In the unlikely case that she withdraws her article from publication, she lets the collection  reviewer know, who rejects the item. At that point the generated handle needs to be dealt with, it could be redirected to the tombstone
