Subject: Question about CosTransactions behaviour

I am implementing CosTransactions v1.1 as described in orbos/97-03-04.
I have a few questions.  I apologize in advance if this isn't the
correct mailing list for such issues.

2) What happens if the transaction service doesn't support
subtransactions and the following Java code is executed?

      current.begin();
      org.omg.CosTransactions.Control control =
transFactory.create(0);

The create call in the TransactionFactory receives the current
(non-null) transaction in the service context.  Should it ignore the
current transaction and simply create another (flat) transaction?  It
seems that way, because create can't raise SubtransactionsUnavailable.
