That's why I think somebody has to maintain best practices/wrappers - to
avoid having everybody learn every twisted detail and have to do every
mistake on their own (mistake doesn't mean somebody is a bad developer,
there are just non-obvious problems, and the CORBA specification is not
what I would call a nicely designed framework).

That sounds a little naive to me, but maybe I'm just a cynical person :)

Hmmm, now I'm really curious what product you're actually working on...
