I would agree with this statement. IDL is fine but not really
necessary right now. I personally would be too much afraid
that we loose momentum if we introduce yet another
obstacle - meaning having to get a full understanding of IDL.

If there is somebody here that is willing to take our material
and transform it into an IDL spec., that'd be great, though.
Nevertheless, let's talk Java and then we proceed from there.

IMHO :)
