If you have an option and no rules deny you the option I do not see why you shouldn't be able to use it. So by common sense and reason I can not entangle a foes limbs or cloths throwing them off balance if they are already prone? If this is wise is another question but I see no practical concerns with being able to "trip" an already prone character.  I view Standing Up the same way. I can find no clause in the rules that says that a trip will end this action. It may go aginst comon sense in some cases but so does getting hit repeatedly with out serious injury and disability. You could look at it as the AoO happens not when the charcter rises but wile the are still on the ground when they must tense their entire body to being standing process. In this case your action is interrupted and your state is change to prone and thus do to the in movement options wile prone your orginial action is now impossible to complete. I no not believe that your state would change during the Stand Up action and that even if it did it would not stop you from completing the action. Since no one has given a rule based reson for why one would not be prone untill the end of the Stand Up action. Wouldn't the character be by your own assertion prone at the time of the AoO?</blockquote>
