Yeah, I've read the presentation -- and yes, that's not the level I am
after. Actually, I guess the completeness problem can be clarified with a
table:
               a_complete_and_clear_division_of_transaction_time
SatisfySnapShot Y Y N N ...
SatisfyVacuum   1 2 2 3 ...

Not sure how to give the corrctness proof -- maybe if the
"a_complete_and_clear_division_of_transaction_time" is designed well enough,
we can find some consistency?

And as Alvaro suggested, maybe that's too narrow topic for a presentation -- 
so if the above idea is in the right track, I'd like to write an initial
document (so you guys can modify it) if nobody is interested in doing that.

Regards,
Qingqing
