Ok, then let's keep it this way (except that this won't work if the database
is used by different users).

Well, but it's required from a technical point of view.

In the getValue() etc. implementation of your moniker, it must be allowed to
treat anything which is of type CORBA_tk_struct or CORBA_tk_sequence like an
ordinary CORBA struct/sequence - without providing any special support for
Bonobo::Config::LocalizedString(List).

This implies that any existing moniker will continue to work if we implement
my proposal.
