as discussed offline, did you keep the exception specifications as 
SAL_THROW comments?

I would refrain from such a massive change as making ~XInterface 
virtual.  And having nothrow specifications on destructors is fine IMO.

Yes, [oneway] is effectively completely dead by now (compared to almost 
dead before the binary URP rewrite).

namespace css = com::sun:.star is the de-facto standard there, so yes, I 
wouldn't mind using that in the generated headers.
