        Trivial, this is partly why we love monikers so much; however, I  
think it is important to understand how to partition the space, how to    
extend monikers etc. ( we need to address some of these issues soon ).

        Yes; this is the idea, a clean Bonobo/CORBA API that can be used  
for all of these things, looked up in a single clean global object 
namespace, with easy access for everyone :-)
