Indeed, RPC uses an IDL as well (which looks remarkably like a CORBA
IDL, albeit much more limited in syntax). I agree that any
client/server interface should be defined in _some_ IDL-like syntax,
preferably using some tool (orbit-idl, rpcgen, g-wrap, whatever) to
actually build the interface code from the IDL-like description.
