Hmmm... This sure sounds like a place where the upcoming CLOS-like
functionality of GOOPS could become valuable...
It would be useful for transactions to inherit behaviour and/or
data structure from other transactions, whereby you might have some
generic transaction types that come in by default, that may be
augmented by more specialized behaviour...
[Rob Browning should probably comment here on how robust/functional
GOOPS is/isn't at this point, and the likelihood of it getting useful
soon...]
