Just to be clear, I am just brainstorming the ideas to see if we can
find some better solutions to the problems (1) and (3) described by
Arseny in the above email [1].  At this stage, it is not clear to me

posted in his fist email [2] (which is to stop demanding that top xact
must be seen before subxact in decoding.).
