I'm not sure what your semantics are for the TLA's. "IDL" means
"Interface Definition Language" and is the generic term for languages
that describe RPC interfaces. ILU has its own IDL, so does CORBA, so
does Sun RPC. The terminology is confusing because "IDL" is often
used to specifically denote CORBA's IDL.
What's DII?
