"ORB" includes the stub interface as presented to the application. Once
the application makes that Stub_Frobate() call, as far as the application
is concerned, the ORB has taken care of the request. Whether or not the
request gets delivered in the same address space is totally transparent to
both the calling application and the called implementation function, and
therefore irrelevant as far as compliance goes.
