ORBit (and all other ORBs AFAIK) do not make any effort to de-order the
requests for any type of call, so things will naturally arrive in order.

No.

No.

I just looked at your web page and wanted to suggest a solution to the OAF
<-> UNO integration that might allow more easily activating

This would consist of UNO implementing the OAF::ObjectDirectory interface
itself to provide a list of and activation for all the available UNO
objects, and hooking that OD into the main OAF::ActivationContext used by
the user.  That seems like a very clean and passable solution from what I
know. You will need to ask Maciej for details on how hard this might be,
since he is the OAF guru now.
