So you'd be querying by your jid and the iq id for the original request?

Actually, that would work for us. It's nice having teh query 
sanity-checked, but the important thing is to be able to cancel
and/or modify. It's fine if the reply comes back either when
the results are available, or after the ad hoc cancel command
has killed the query.

I'm not clear that it's ligher weight than the transaction
semantics though...
