Completely agree - including having changed my mind.   I agree with
Dimitry S. that his replicate/backup/restore/reverse strategy works,
assuming that the load is light enough that the newly restored
replicant can eventually catch up.  At the same time, one of
Firebird's strong points is the limited amount of expertise necessary
to manage the system, so in the longer run, either a variable length
transaction id or a record version by record version flag indicating
the size of the transaction id has a lot of merit.
