My work about updatable cursors may lose the
meaing by a backend's change. My plan depends
on the combination of TID and OID but OIDs would
be optional in 7.2.
Strictly speaking we couldn't use xmin for
row versioning in 7.2 but we have to continue
the use of xmin becuase there's no alternative.
Unfortunately I don't understand what to depend on.

OK I changed *Common* --> *Default* anyway.
Could someone refine the current dialogs ?
