Indeed, if one could rely on all client orb runtimes to know what to do
with these multi-endpoint IORs.  Alas, right now I can't.

Will the shared state of these ImR replicas reside in a database, or a flat
file?  Designing the persistent data format should be an early step,
perhaps right after the IDL has been agreed upon?  I haven't looked at the
IDL that was posted a few days ago yet.

Anyone else interested in this, how should we start to hammer out the IDL
for the ImR and management interfaces?
