This came up a while ago. I believe it is wrong for OpenORB to reply
to a GIOP 1.1 request with a GIOP 1.0 message. It's not clearly ruled
out by the GIOP spec, but then neither is replying to a GIOP 1.0
request with a GIOP 1.1 reply, and to permit that would be crazy.

I believe later versions of OpenORB do not mix GIOP versions like
that.

Cheers,

Duncan.
