this is basically done by get_transaction().begin/commit/rollback + cleanup
per executed MicroThread. We have played a lot with Zope-Transactions
I think this is manageable .. Thanks for the Hint :)

Thats one of the points I could think of too .. to really make all this
work, one must probably simulate different users, that "run" the processes
and plug into the security-machinery .. I haven't explored this in detail 
yet.

thank for your reply
