Well, the issue here is that monikers were originally invented for
this purpose and their use sort of spawned from there.  So I find it
bizarre that you do not like them for this very particular
application.

Monikers are useful for the linking case, not really the `fully
embedding' case, as a moniker is just a pointer to the remote object.
