Sure.  Just as the "business logic" processor receiving any XML document
is assumed, too.  Again, I said "objects on the wire."  Who knows, perhaps
someone will define a new PI:  <? corba "Locate" ?> and various object
models will be reconciled via XSLT.  But that's a pipe dream for another
day.

Hence my aphorism that "XML is a superset."
