        I'd like the clipboard code to be in bonobo if we can get it
working and tested by the end of the month - it's an important API.

        Or do we - we can always aggregate a new interface. Either way a  
Moniker is a more powerful superset of an IID - both proposals are
effectively:
  
        string getString (); 
  
        it's not worth delaying indefinately over a name,            
  
        Regards,
  
                Michael.
