I had a very rapid look at these two papers, it looks like none of them allow the implementation of compare-and-swap, which is required for if-match / if-none-match support. They have a weaker definition of a "transaction". Which is to be expected as they only implement causal consistency at best and not consensus, whereas consensus is required for compare-and-swap.
