David,

Two thumbs up! At last a wise word in this thread. CORBA also has 
no embedded security, by the way. And this is not accidental or
because OMG people are stupid. In fact, they are clever enough to know,
that in many cases security architecture is a separate element of
corporate IT infrastructure and messing up with it on a low level 
may made things worse.
