I'd say this is complementary, not an alternative to 2PC implementation
issues.

The transaction monitor lives on the other side of the problem. 2PC is
needed in the database _so that_ the transaction monitor can do its job.

That said, having a 3-tier model is probably a good idea if distributed
transaction management is what we want. :-)
