There is no gaurentee that you'll get the same persistant connection
unfortunetly. If your browser really used HTTP/1.1 keepalive, you'd
stand a better chance of it, but really that is no way to do it.

I do already use transactions on InnoDB tables myself.

The only workaround that is possible if we want transaction support in
PMA would be to buffer the queries inside PMA, using our own seperate
table, and then sending them atomically to MySQL on COMMIT or just
dumping them on ROLLBACK.
