Yes! The CORBA C++ binding is truly awful in many ways. 
Supporting a modern binding using standard C++, TR1, and 
Boost facilities would go a long way towards simplifying 
and "robustifying" CORBA use in C++ apps. I'm sure other 
orgs or people have tried this in the past (probably not 
with Boost or TR1, though), so I would assume there's some 
case studies available (specially if the project was 
unsuccessful - that would give a good idea of the scope 
and challenges involved).
