DDSXTY_ — DynamicData interface of the Language Binding section

First, thank you for this specification. It provides a systematic and comprehensive definition of the runtime type system which is important in the context of the next version of Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/). Moreover, from my perspective, the conceptual idea of the dynamic container is more generic than DDS and EPICS and addresses other technologies, like AMQP. In this regard, I have several suggestions for the DynamicData interface of the Language Binding section, particularly, to scale down the number of methods from 270 to 30 and to replace the 'out' arguments with return values.

At this time, we are working on the prototype of this variant based on the consolidation of several approaches, including DDS Dynamic Data, Google's Protocol Buffers, etc. Certainly, for us, it would be ideal to have some common solution. According to the Beta 1 procedure, OMG will accumulate comments by November 29. But, probably, it can be discussed earlier, for example, at the coming OMG technical meeting. Please advise.
