So apparently in Lotusphere 2001, when "RNext" was ND6, IBM/Lotus had plans for developers to be able to start/commit/rollback transactions to NSF.
 
Supposedly it was in the R6 Beta.  Where did this go?  Was it thrown to the side as we stepped onto the Workplace path?  Information here is sparse.
 
This is a common feature that RDBMSs support that people have been asking for NSF to support for years.  Anybody know anything about it?  Some more searching uncovered another article from R5 mentioning it.
