25. After completing the first version of the present work (e-print quant-ph/9807030), the author learned about the interesting paper [M.B. Plenio et al. Phys. Rev. A 59, 2468 (1999), also quant-ph/9811003], where a QED cavity scheme implementation of a quantum effect similar to the asymptotic entanglement freezing reported here [case (ii) of the main text], has been presented and analyzed.
