CORBA24 — PIDL vs Local

Regarding using a version in a repository ID:

If old PIDL were to be recast to local, each time the
interface def would be enhanced (by adding new local
operations), the IDL module would have to be appropriately
versioned.

I also point out that using a version for corba::object's repository
id seems inappropriate, since there are multiple version of
corba::object which the omg never bothered to version, since they
did not have to.

Thus, in summary, putting version 1.0 to correspond to a pidl interface
implies stability in that inteface (i.e., it will not change without
changing
the version number), which the OMG has never enforced for PIDL.
