There is some posting which shows that people try to 
connect H.Friedman's announced results to something 
which has happened earlier. Perhaps the best reference 
would be the Harrington - Paris (197?) example of a 
mathematically meaningful statement (in fact a 
Rasmsey-like statement of finite combinatorics) 
which is undecidable in PA.
