My reasoning behind asking these questions is that
I see I can expect in FDO problem as reported here:

https://fdo.osgeo.org/servlets/Scarab?id=FDO123

So, I'm looking for good solution that will help me to catch
these kind of problems.
At best, I'd prefer to stick to "FDO way", what I'm asking for.

OK, let's forget these questions.
I'll do it as best as I can and I see what reviewers will
tell about it.

Cheers
