Document transient publishes once more client libraries implement it
currently only implemented in ably-js

This is perhaps not something we should do until the next version of our spec is released. Arguably, this is an experimental feature until officially supported.
Related to https://github.com/ably/docs/issues/319 in regards to how we recommend customers publish large volumes of messages. Closing that issue in favour of this.
@QuintinWillison I assume we do support transient publishing now in all libs and can close this (if documented)?
It was documented in 27157ba673aecbf56ee808cbc1b94e38380864a4 but without Java, Objective-C or C# examples. We claim support in both Java and .NET, however I can only find one instance of the word 'transient' in the spec so I'm not entirely clear what I'm looking for.
Java, for example, doesn't have anywhere near the number of members I would expect in its ProtocolMessage.Flag enum.
Before exploring deeper... @mattheworiordan, can you give me any more pointers as to what I should be looking for here? Where is this feature defined?
ok, as I clunk through my GitHub notifications I see you've indirectly given me the answer with https://github.com/ably/docs/pull/323 ... "published immediately" and "implicit attach" from RTL6 sub-items.
The spec change can be found via https://github.com/ably/docs/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr+transient+publishing
The java implementation, for example, can be found via https://github.com/ably/ably-java/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr+transient+publishing
I thought that we had specified that as a required feature for any library advertising itself as 1.1, so it should be implemented in most or all libraries. Having said that, I don't remember seeing it in PHP or Python.

It's a realtime client lib feature, php and python are currently rest-only

Yes of course, I was thinking of idempotent publishing for some reason.
