I'm amazed to hear that. You're a corporate developer and your 
corporation has not deployed a single web client app. Not bug tracking. 
Not content management. Not issue tracking. Not expense report 
submission. Are you saying your intranet does not use HTTP POST, only 
HTTP GET?

How can the two halves of your sentence be reconciled? If XML can 
emulate CORBA then it by definition does not impose a communication 
model that is less sophisticated than CORBA.
