I'm reading it now and I'll just jot my impressions as I read it.

Good introduction.

On point #2 of the transaction states you could add in the cases of
executing DDL, posting an event alerter event or deleting a record. These
will also cause the transaction to be considered active.

On point #2 of the timeout props there is a typo. Instead of saying
'starting' you can just say 'start'.

Everything else you spoke of was accurate.

Thanks for taking the time to do this as it will likely be helpful.

Regards,
Jason
