That would be fine if the shorthand were readable, but it's not.

And it will find that how? Imagine that the creating transaction is
itself a subtransaction, and the deleting one is a few nesting levels
further down. I don't see how the tuple is going to carry enough
information to let you determine what's what, if the deleting subxact
overwrites the creating one's XID.
