+1.
I don't even see this as much of a problem. Prepared transactions
hanging around for arbitrary periods of time cause all kinds of problems
already. Those using them need to be careful to resolve them quickly --
and if there's a crash involved, I think it's reasonable to say they
should be resolved before continuing normal online operations.

I like this idea.
