I started several replies and then realized I really needed to ask a
clarifying question first.

When you say
      "I view persistency as a continuous rather than an
      all or nothing property (degree determined by the producer)"
do you mean that the entity will continuously persist whatever portion of
its state is declared to be peristent OR do you mean that the producer
exerts control over what portion of its state is persisted?

Rich,

Thanks for your quick reply to my questions. On the need for "transients",
I still do not see why (or how) the *consumer* needs to decide to call
createTransientEntity or createPersistentEntity. If this is only
a hint that the lifetime is bounded by a session then why not just
include a sessionId as a create argument? Also, I view persistency as a
continuous rather than an all or nothing property (degree determined
by the producer).
