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.  :-)
