Well, CORBA definitely won't work for the task for plenty of reasons. The
reason I wanted to add remote methods to ZEO is because it would allow
full transparent access to the objects, being able to invoke methods and
change data on the same object and have it all work correctly. I see that
as being very valuable.

So, I'm not asking you to like my design (nor accept all patches) as much
as I'm asking what the implementation problems might be.
