In the preparation step it is mentioned that we create a withdrawal status object which is referenced throughout the algorithm.

We add the roundID to this object, but it does not seem to be used anywhere. Is it needed at all?

 In the 'Output List Initialization' I don't think it's specified how to keep track of the outputs that are removed if sum(inputs) < sum(outputs). I would assume that we need to mark the output status in the withdrawal status object so the caller can take appropriate action?
