Yes, a mechanisms that's more light-weight than CORBA (in terms of
integration effort/architecture) is definitely going to more easily
accepted in the code base.
We'd also rather not double the size of the LyX binary ;-) but then again,
some of the CORBA libraries are probably not that huge.

this reminded my of CORBA: we could use it to have seamless invocations
among remote instances of LyX, couldn't we :-) ?
To ride a more recent wave, we should use websockets/json, then a webfrontent
would be possible, and we would be more attractive for the javascript people.
And then sometimes lyx could switch from C++ to javascript ;)

LyX seems to already have its own way to serialize LFUNs, but I guess we'll
have to serialize more, and specifically DocIterator(s)...
