The main purpose is to discern at recovery a prepared XA (XAP) that was never binlogged from one that was.
Your case
>>> Another way to do this is to delay the binlog checkpoints until all XA
>>> PREPARE in a binlog file have been XA COMMIT'ted
assumes that XAC must always come in "normal" time.
But of course, being a part of the user's decision, it can be late significantly up until
a purge from binary logs that contain the incl the total RESET MASTER.
In the latter case its eventual post RM XA-COMMIT would be bin-logged with the full
awareness.
