Please have a look at ftp://ftp.omg.org/docs/orbos/99-08-02.pdf. On
p. 12, it says:

# The sequence template is mapped to sequence objects, e.g. tuples or
# lists. Applications should not assume that values of a sequence type
# are mutable. Sequences and arrays of octets and characters are
# mapped to the string type for efficiency reasons.

That was always the intent; sorry if that wasn't spelled in earlier
versions.
