tiConcurrency is selected as the default for IBODatabase as
it best matches the way BDE works. There were complaints
some time ago when the default was switched to tiCommitted,
and so it got switched back, and those of us who prefer
tiCommitted have to remember to change it ( I modify the
source anyway :) ).

Transactions can be made to work a number of ways as you are
finding, but you seem to be settling on a method that works
for you. I stop and start transactions that I need control
of using tiCommitted and leave the rest to IBO - it works
for me ;)
