Re: Three Access Language Paradigms

% It seems to me that so far the W3C has focused on using DOM

You should not confuse the use of OMG IDL to describe interfaces 
with requiring implementations to use CORBA interfaces. The DOM
specification is quite clear that CORBA is not needed. OMG IDL
is simply used as a language.

>From the DOM spec:
"The Object Management Group Interface Definition Language 
(OMG IDL) was chosen as it was designed for specifying language
and implementation-neutral interfaces. Various other IDLs could 
be used; the use of OMG IDL does not imply a requirement to use a
specific object binding runtime. "

>From the DOM FAQ, at http://www.w3.org/DOM/faq.html
"We expect that the DOM can be implemented using CORBA, 
COM, or Java Virtual Machine runtime bindings."
