I haven't been following this thread in detail, but I'd just like to
point out that there's a couple features in the XA spec that we don't
currently support:
- ability to "stop" a transaction, and resume it later, executing other
transactions in between.
- ability to stop a transaction, and resume it later in another connection.
Neither of these are essential for two-phase commit, which is what the
spec is for, but if they happened to fall out of some other work, it
would be nice...
