Uh ... not necessarily.  That amounts to assuming that every xact has
complete knowledge of the actions of every other, which is an assumption
I'd rather not make.  Detecting that what you've done conflicts with
someone else is one thing, detecting that party B has conflicted with
party C is another league entirely.
