Fair enough, I'm just picking words out of the air ;-)

correct :-)

I wasn't anticipating anything added to the transaction class. Bearing in mind
that I know less than nothing about transactions in Zope, I was anticipating
whatever initialises and commits transactions would keep a list of the
registered agents (to use my words) and call the appropriate ones, in order, at
the appropriate points.

Would that be possible?

Would it be a good idea?
