[dna-dev] Non-XA compliant resource participation in distributed transactions

Seems like we ought to strive to support n-1 XA resources for 
distributed transactions, allowing for the last participant in a 
transaction (thus, this participants updates can't be done in parallel 
with the other resources) to not support XA transactions, but still 
participate in a distributed transaction with other XA-compliant 
resources.  Unlike compensating transactions, the non-XA participant 
would appear transactional and none of the updates would be visible 
until the entire transaction was complete.  It seems like this could 
open up many more possible configurations for customers.
