Dan, 1034 itself says that absolute consistency is a non-goal.  From 2.3:

     Access to information is more critical than instantaneous
     updates or guarantees of consistency.  Hence the update
     process allows updates to percolate out through the users of
     the domain system rather than guaranteeing that all copies are
     simultaneously updated.
