I agree too. Ideally, synchrony/asynchrony isn't an "interface" concern,
so it would be better to define "poller" and "callback" objects as the new
AMI (Asinchronous Messaging) proposes, and let the client to choose the
QoS model of each invocation (which includes if it wants sync/async calls,
timeouts, etc.), but... in the meantime, it seems to be a good design: it
maintains the sync interface, so it could be used when ORBit implements
AMI...

    This raises another question... Is ORBit supposed to eventually
implement AMI?

    Regards.
    diego.
