Keep the audit trail in mind. Some forms of persistence
are for purely legal reasons.

len

You would if it were you that had to do the work on it?
Yours was only persistent till you got around to processing it?

Transient will vary from mSec using transforms through
to 'hey Peter, gimme XYZ XML from this please', which
could be days. Still transient IMHO.

How about short-lived?
(and you define 'short')
