Both the CorbaScript and Python CORBA mappings have now been accepted
by the OMG, so I don't think either is more "blessed" than the other.
The CorbaScript submission is unusual in that it defines the entire
language, not just the CORBA binding to it, but other than that it's
not special in any way.
