	It sounds as if the only real problem with this is parsing your
'NameService' thing into some reasonable IOR; I don't know what the
standards for IORs are like these days; the 'iiop:' syntax certainly
looks a lot nicer than a lot of approaches.

	Currently we don't support the NameService tag, we reserved the
--ORBNamingIOR, but currently it's not used.

	Essentially you'll need to a) get a standard IOR for the service and b)
either implement the ORBNamingIOR option, or grab the IOR from a file or
some other method, or your own cmd line argument somehow.

	HTH,

		Michael.
