I haven't thought about this all that hard yet, but here are the major
hurdles I perceive:
* For exposing XPCOM objects to CORBA, deal with the fact that CORBA is
designed to be interprocess, while XPCOM is intraprocess. Perhaps this
isn't the big deal I think it probably is.
* For exposing CORBA objects to XPCOM, deal with the fact that OMG IDL
is substantially richer than XPIDL. Either create a mapping from OMG IDL
to XPIDL (probably not trivial), or make XPIDL a helluvalot smarter
(definitely not trivial).
