	Python has to provide a way for you to implement CORBA interfaces - so
just use that to implement the Unknown -> Persist -> PersistStream
interface. Ultimately you're going to need to implement all the methods
yourself.

	Well; I think the workaround for this was to get a Storage interface
from the directory, and then use openStream with the 'CREATE' flag set
on it.

	Of course - you can create in-memory streams etc. as well using the
bonobo impl's.

	HTH,
