Do you really think, at this point the State of Hawaii is going to make a definitive statement about Obama being a natural born citizen and not have all their paperwork ducks in a row?

It wasn't a definitive statement. It was carefully worded to sound official without being official.

State law only requires them to release “Index data” on a vital record and that they have already released.

That's not what the law says. There's no restriction in the statute that they must have already released a vital record before releasing index data.
