I guess we agree.  The way I see these object models working in Loci:

  CORBA - Allow non-Python components to communicate with the Workspace/Daemon
        - Allow remote components     "       "        "   "       "

  Bonobo - Allow Loci 'viewers' to be embedded in Gnome applications

  XML/DOM - Allow low-bandwidth specification of user interface components,
            including the recombination of interfaces a la 'composite' loci.
          - Allow filesystem-based storage and databasing of loci.


Cheers.
Jeff
