	Hmm; not convinced about that; I think implementing your own discovery
stuff is what you want - especially for bounded properties. The CORBA
introspection stuff is bulky, unsupported and horribly ugly.

	Using an Any is a good solution to many things IMHO.

	Hard to say; there is no bounding in the property bag, although it'd be
nice to re-use that interface if possible.
