I was going to say "no, they don't" - and they don't, for the most part
(the 'transaction id' part of an unmutable node is converted into an
"rN/offset"'transaction' upon commit). But I see that they do appear to
be used in the changes list at the end of the revision - I don't know if
that's important or not. (Or even if it's an oversight/bug, or if I'm
completely wrong - I'm a bit busy right now, sorry! :-))
