No problem, in the IDL there's this function :
    statusT uriStatus(in uriT uri, in DLIdT dlid, in passwordT password)

No. Neither will it ruin data transactions that are incompatible, it will marshal
them automatically. But this surly does have it's limitations, we'll have to work
on what will and what wont be converted by the BL and PL. This is something
which hasn't high priority right now.
