Hi Ke,

Even POSIX standardizes header files.  This should be done for CORBA,
as well.  If it's so trivial it should be a no-brainer to standardized.

Those organizations haven't stepped up to the plate to do this for
anything except C.  OMG is as good as a place as any.

It's non-trivial, but it's doable.

Huh?  You need to explain this better - it makes no sense at face
value, and is one of the reasons why CORBA is losing out to other
middleware technologies.

Take care,
