Yet another universal component model.

Deigo Doval is digging into Open Office and it's programming interfaces and has discovered Open Office's own Universal Network Objects (UNO) component model. Components models like Bonobo, Dot-Net's, CORBA, XPCOM, and COM, and JavaBeans are fascinating, and I really mean that, but how many of these friggin' universes do we really need? I understand that OpenOffice.org wants to support cross-language components, but couldn't they have started with CORBA as Bonobo does, XPCom as Mozilla does, or the Dot-Net model as Ximian does? I guess inventing your own component model is just way too much fun.
