I have a general concern that this might be overlaying part of CORBA 3.3 
over an API/implementation that is based on CORBA 2.3.1. I don't know 
what the compliance issues are here and what certification is required 
to claim CORBA 3.3 or even partial compliance. So I expect there is more 
work to do than might initially seem. Aside from stating compliance then 
this will require tests and I don't see these in the patch. I don't see 
any javadoc either (I realize some of strangely named classes might be 
generated from IDL).
