Oh my, that sounds more like politicians with vague promises than interfaces with contracts. :-P. Heh, I got this feeling I'm probably better off slowly turning the lid back on what appears to be a can of worms, hoping not to many noticed, and focus on more realistic objectives for the near future. :-) Jokes aside, I'm a bit surprised of these difficulties because there seems to be plenty of reflection interfaces in the uno-framework: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/AdvUNO/UNO_Reflection_API ?
