There are, of course, many ways to skin a cat. Your experiement 
demonstrates exactly why xAP is a winner in the HA environment - cool 
features come from tying together the independent components and 
getting them to interact. xAP is about making it easy to string stuff 
together by providing a generic glue. Do badger the authors of the 
packages you use to add xAP support - it's not difficult for them, 
and it'll enable you to do really cool stuff.
