Paul, 

Right now I can live without streams because its easy enough to create a
method like byte[] read() that you can call multiple times. This is what
we have been doing with EJB for awhile.

I don't use callbacks in any of my current projects, but that may be
because most envrionments dont support it.  I bet there are other people
who could really use that.

One thing that will need to be fixed is that in java 1.4 exceptions now
can wrap another exception to get a it's stack trace. The problem comes
up when an exception that a remote method can throw wraps an exception
that the client dosent have.  Example:  server side code throws a
SybaseSQLException, which the server wraps into some ServerException.
When the client gets the exception it creates the ServerException no
problem, but gets a NoClassDefFound when it tries to create the wrapped
SybaseSQLException.

The fix would be to override the serialization of exceptions to just
include the text of the wrapped exceptions.
