Very well then, prepare for more questions.  :-)

Three that I have open right now are:

1. IIRC there is some provision for inter-bus routing.  How does this
work--especially the addressing?  (And is message ordering affected?)

2. Is there any kind of support for failover?  Let's say you have a proxy,
for an object you looked up using a well-known bus name, and the client
providing that object dies.  Assume the client restarts (e.g. using
activation), grabs the same well-known bus name, and once again creates
that object you had a proxy to.  Is the proxy always dead at this stage,
or is there a way (for objects that support it, obviously) to resume where
things left off?

3. It's okay for objects to receive method invocation messages, queue
them, and process them in an order of its own liking, right?
