Well, the sentence "...the action to sustain only note depressed before 
sostenuto..." is short and not precise and consequently a little confusing.
‎It would have been better to write " Only notes depressed (i.e noteOn) before 
sostenuto (i.e SostenutoOn) will be allowed to be sustained.
Thoses notes will be sustained on noteOff  if sostenuto is find depressed".
 
This is like Sostenuto behaves on piano. The implementation proposed in this 
patch for Fluidsynth follows this behavior.
‎I hope you will be reassured. Anyway, everything is easily verifiable.
