   Yes, each auction has a unique ID.  It would be straightforward to
have that in the transaction description.

   Looks helpful.  I've written some code for my emacs, and I understand

  I see.  I had thought they were more general than that.

I'll try to munge it into something general enough to be useful for
others.
