 We've gotten TAO to interoperate with other ORBs (e.g., Orbix,
 VisiBroker, miniCOOL, and CORBAplus), so we're confident that its
 implementation of IIOP is robust.  We're currently working on the
 following features for TAO:
    
      * An IDL compiler that generates optimized compiled stubs and
-       skeletons. For this, we're planning to use the Flick IDL
-       compiler from University of Utah.

      * A highly extensible, highly optimized set of request
        demultiplexing strategies that provide constant time lookup of
        servants based on object keys and operation names contained in
        CORBA requests.
