It's an interesting problem.  Sai-Lai is correct in  pointing out that
the omniORB interpretation of oneway is valid under CORBA rules.

ILU doesn't really have oneway, in ILU ISL.  Instead, we have the
ASYNCHRONOUS qualifier on methods, which does what Tobias is looking
for.  We do map OMG IDL `oneway' into ISL ASYNCHRONOUS, in our OMG IDL
support.
