Can I guarantee that txids will only ever occur once or twice in listtransactions? IIRC I cannot, right? (because you can split payments or something- not too clear on this).

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

It is possible to generate transactions that "fan out" to an arbitrary number of recipients.

They're non-standard transactions right now, so they won't be relayed or included in blocks.  But you should probably assume that they will be possible in the future (and a miner could, of course, include them in their own blocks now).
How often do you get the chance to work on a potentially world-changing project?
