Re: WS-A Issue 28 - Multiple ports

With respect to CORBA IOR, often times the object key portion (somewhat 
analogous to ref props) is the same for each
of the indivudual protocol profiles.   IN corba IOR , for such cases, 
the object key must be repeated in the profile for each
access protocol.  

Through the years, people have complained about this, asking for some 
syntax which would have a default object key which
could be overidden, if needed, in one or more of the profiles in that IOR.
