I'll talk with Jonathan tomorrow about this, but when you say:
"In particular I still only have a general sense of what is involved in the branch interposition model - to be specific, it's not clear what the transport requirements would be for negotiating the XID space; you mentioned alternate XID formats as well as bitmask-based solutions, but none of this is really specific."
I don't see how this will have any requirements on Remoting other than as a communication channel, i.e., the protocol should work just as well (conceptually) using HTTP, raw socket, IIOP or carrier pidgeon.
Right. But Remoting will have to carry the messages so the sooner I know what they are, the better. Also this does impact the AS side of things insofar as I have to use the right TS API and feed the results to/from Remoting to get the XID to start the transaction.
But most of all, I just want to break the inertia get things jump-started here, so this is mostly just a push in what I hope is the right direction.
