Hi there.

The distributed transaction coordinator that comes with SQL Server
(MSDTC).... is this based on some sort of standard? Are there other
implementations of DTCs?

Any info would be appreciated!

AFAIK, DTC supports the XA interface, a protocol defining how transaction managers can communicate
with each other. I believe XA was defined by X/OPEN, but this was years ago.
