Which we don't do because we don't know whether we are dealing with
top-level xids or subtransactions of already observed top-level xids.
Either way we have to rearrange things when we move from unobserved to
observed. A major difference is that what we have now works and what we
might have instead may not, which is being illustrated by recent
testing.
