Judging from discussion on the OMG's CORBA Core RTF mailing list, the RTF
is of the opinion that the spec for "get_interface" >>should<< require it
to return the (current) most derived type for the target object.  This
would typically require the client-side ORB to contact the server-side
ORB to find this out.

If you have a problem with this ... now is a good time to speak up.
