       <dd>When an object is dynamically created and its object
       reference returned, it simply has to "guess" at the host
       information that is returned in the IIOP Profile.  Currently, it
-      guesses using the host name, which is a good guess in most
+      guesses using the host name, which is a reasonable guess in most
       cases.<p>
 
       However, if there are multiple interfaces on a machine
       <i>and</i> they have different host names, it is possible that
       the desired effect will not be realized, i.e., the connection to
       that new object may use a different interface from the original
-      object.  Currently the only way to change this is to manually
-      specify that dynamically-created objects bind to a specific
-      interface so that their IIOP Profile has the desired hostname.
-      A more desirable fix is being investigated.</dd>
