Well, the DB-API does not actually expose any classes other than the
exceptions.  The primary objects you work with are all created by
factory functions/methods:

 * Connections from module.connect()
 * Cursors from connection.cursor()

I was suggesting that transaction ID objects be created by either a
module.xid() or connection.xid() factory function and not make the
class object part of the API.
