Seems to me collective code ownership, pair programming, yesterday's
weather and team velocity all combine to imply collective
accountability.
I could be wrong. I often am. Just like Ron. ;-)
In fact I could be much further wrong than Ron ever is, because I
haven't actually worked as an XPer. This is purely my sense of how
it has to work.

The team might.
There may not be an easy way to give management a fair view into it,
and I'm not sure I'd want to. I think teams will on some level hold
individual team members accountable, and that individuals will feel
a stronger sense of accountability to the team than to management.
I'm sure there are situations where management needs to make sure
that a team isn't holding an individual accountable unfairly.
How management makes promotion, reassignment, firing and layoff
decisions in this world, I couldn't begin to guess.
