Thanks for the advice, Nick. I'd still like to know more about the consistency model though. For example, I wonder if there's any guarantee that two transactions on different entity groups executed by one process in a given order will be observed in the same order. I suspect the answer is no. I'm starting to think that the "GAE takes care of the messy details of distributed systems programming" claim is a bit overstated...
