SDSS J080434.20+510349.2: Pdot during plateau

   Natalia Katysheva reported detailed observations during the superoutburst
plateau.  Combined with the other data, we have updated the Pdot during
the plateau (stage B) to be +6.2(1.1)*10^(-5).  As already reported,
this period change looked more stepwise rather than a smooth change.
The resultant Pdot is relatively large for an object with multiple
rebrightenings.  This may be related to the short supercycle for
a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova or it may have been a result of rather complex
superhump profile and orbital variations.  Further detailed analysis
will be undertaken.
