Kramnik had 2 acceptable choices
1. Decline to play on in the match
2. Continue playing ALL games including game 5
He chose a hybrid system designed to give himself the most escape clauses should the final result not go his way - once game 6 was started he had in effect accepted the consequences of his time out in game 5

I though Kramnik lost game 5 on time?
Game five was started under playing conditions that were not mutually agreed by both players (and in fact explicitly rejected by one of them), so the game should be considered null and void.
In fact, the Appeals Committee was dismissed after that.

3. Continue to play the match under protest.
Do you understand what that means?
