Transaction processing for Web Services today suffers significantly from proliferation of the Web Services transactions standards. Between BTP and WS-transactions, there is a lot of similarities, but yet the standards are different. What makes the situation even worse is the fact that the leading web Services Business Process management standard - BPEL, introduces yet another transactional model, which is not alligned with either BTP or WS-Transactions. It would certainly make sense to try to merge all these multiple standards together. It would also make sense to use BTP as an umbrella standard, due to the fact that it seem to have the broadest coverage and allows to express most of the semantics, that can be found in other transaction protocols
