I'm not an expert on any of the models.  I am simply relying on what others
here tell me.  Jarl has made favorable comments regarding CORBA's security
model.  Also, regarding XML-RPC, SOAP and .NET (which, it appears, are now
related), I have HEARD that the intention is to run them through HTTP in order
to bypass firewalls.  These are the reasons why I said CORBA is "superior"
(bad choice of words -- it tends to cause more flame wars).

Cheers.
