Perhaps this identifies a need for Services like in OpenOffice. 
Something that declares the interfaces that must be exposed while
exposing nothing itself. Services could provide a non-implementation
specific Name for an Object to query against.  

Then you could have both OAFIID:GNOME_Games_Minesweeper and
OAFIID:Com_FooInc_Minesweeper returned by
oaf_servicequery("SERVICE:GNOME/Games/Minesweeper:1.0").
