reliability as optimistic locking attributes?

*reliable = works 100% of the time

I think the issue you are remembering had to do with problems that one
database was happening, which might have been OpenBase, when there was
a difference in the valueType setting of the things being compared. I
could see mis-set valueTypes causing weirdness.
We might want to have tests which check the effect of various
valueTypes on attributes, when using the various adaptors, and whether
they would cause breakage.
