  I really don't understand why you can not try/catch all the CORBA calls.
Those exceptions are dropped exactly to be catchable. I know it is a pain
in the ... but we can write some macros for that. 

  There is a performance penalty but I don't think that matters. Memory is
awfully cheap nowadays, processors are fast. Let's make it very solid and
fault tolerant. 

  I don't know how much this counts but I vote for the networked model.
