I wasn't aware of any documentation, until Mark posted the link earlier in this thread. I'd never heard of it. When Guy was talking about it, he seemed to suggest that this had been out for eighteen months, and I felt rather foolish for having missed it so completely. Since Paul Harrison's draft is version 0.1, dated 2004-09-27, I don't feel so bad.... Had anyone heard of it, in contacts with AG? The CORBA and Subaru link you posted does look interesting. I'm sure I heard somewhere that CORBA was out of fashion these days. Is it supposed to be very heavyweight, or something?
