Standing up provokes an AoO. Can you use that AoO to trip them?

I'm posting this here so as not to hijack the original thread where the issue came up. A quick browse through the SRD was unhelpful, so I'm wondering if there is anything clearer written anywhere else.
To me, the answer is a very clear no. You're prone, you stand up, then you are standing. The AoO takes place while you are standing up, but before you have completed standing up so you are still technically prone (and thus not trippable) for the AoO.
Other folks seem fairly convinced the other way, so I'd like to find out if there is anything official, or if there is a good rules-based argument one way or the other.
