I've done some interoperability testing with TAO and JacORB, so I don't 
expect too many problems.

It's pretty close to clean CORBA 2.5.  I've got a handful of things to 
doublecheck or fix for CORBA 2.6 compliance.

I implement the full DII and DSI, but I haven't written an IR yet.  My 
plan for an IR is to implement another IDL compiler backend that outputs 
data files that can be bulk imported into the IR.

I support the Messaging QoS policies, but nothing from RT yet.  I don't 
intent to promote this as an RT ORB, but there are still features of the 
RT spec that are useful for a "normal" ORB (thread pools, priorities, etc).
