It seems to me that XA transactions one of those patterns that need to be rediscovered every generation. I see folks start with 0mq or Redis and hit edge cases where messages get lost. I'd love to see a somewhat simple distributed transaction standard for http api's emerge. There has to be a middle ground between the fiddly bits of soap's ws-reliable or full on JMS broker and ad-hoc Redis queues.
