Ok.

Hmm. At those places, the user of the XAResource interface has supplied
both of the Xids being compared, within the same transaction. In
principle, I guess you're right. Nothing in the spec says that it's safe
to assume that the same Xid object is used for start/end/prepare calls.
I would be very surprised if it didn't work in practice, however.

I'll fix it. Premature optimization is not good..

Yeah, it's bloated for our purposes. I'll strip out all the gzip stuff
etc.

Thanks for your comments.
