Summary: 

We have always treated "stun" as a simple inability to react to anything
for a couple of rounds ( usually 1d4 ) - that is, no initiative.  We treat
it as a very hard, well placed blow - if you have ever been hit really
hard in the solar plexus, the nose, the temple, or any number of other
vulnerable places you know that it is practically impossible to see, hear,
or do anything for some period of time.  The monk, by virtue of rigorous
training and intimate knowlege of anatomy is able to direct his blows to
these sensitive areas - perhaps doing little real damage, but temporarily
disabling the opponent.
