A transaction is final if: @p{par}

All of its sequence numbers are INT_MAX @p{brk}
  OR @p{brk}
lockTime has passed. @p{par}

I'm still of the opinion that non-final transactions shouldn't be broadcast over the p2p network; I think the parties negotiating using them should keep them to themselves until they are final, and broadcast then. @p{brk}
