    I think it's crucial. For me, a batch process runs against a set of
    transactions (the set may be zero or more transactions) without human
    intervention. An interactive one processes a single transaction. Both may
    process to completion, or require further (batch) processing to complete
    the business logic. For "real time" read "interactive" in my earlier
    posts, since were talking commerce here rather than all computing.
