It is possible to fake these to some extent in the driver, but we've
decided not to do that and wait for full support from the backend. There
isn't a whole lot of interest from backend developers to do this though
and I don't know of anyone working on it. Their goal was to implement two
phase commit, but XA is more than that. I'm not sure they knew this at
the time and seemed a little put out when the goalposts were moved after
they completed the design and implementation.
