Transaction isolation control

I was wondering what is the rationale for JPA to provide no transaction
isolation control in the API.
Specifically, what were the issues that prevented
EntityManager.getTransaction() to have a variant that
took a isolation level looking something like this:

EntityTransaction <http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/javax/persistence/EntityTransaction.html> *getTransaction*(int isolationLevel);

What plans are there for this to be improved in future?

TIA for any insights.
