[opencms-dev] Transactional integrity - is there any?

I notice that a default OpenCms installation creates mostly MyISAM tables,
with only cms_module_... tables using the InnoDB engine.
 
1.  Does this mean that most OpenCms database operations are not
transactionally safe?  If they're not, I wonder how often database
corruption occurs, either when something goes wrong or when (for example)
more than one content administrator/author accesses resources whichi
overlap.
 
2.  Is it possible to get OpenCms to create tables using only the InnoDB
engine, assuming that we're not talking about running sites with a huge
load?  If so, and if OpenCms carries out all operations within explicit
transactional contexts, that would seem to be a good thing...
 
Thanks in advance.
