A senior may correct me but my understanding is that an SX references a 
previously existing transaction.

What happens to the SX when the underlying TX is changed is, I think, 
not very clear.  You are, I suggest, being brave in presuming something 
gnc plain doesn't.

I'm still uncertain about the master / slave model.  I'm certain I want 
my desktop to be prime
