   * Head of this profile's list of endpoints.  This endpoint is not
   * dynamically allocated because a profile always contains at least
   * one endpoint.
   *
   * Currently, a profile contains more than one endpoint, i.e.,
   * list contains more than just the head, only for two cases
   * (1) when RTCORBA is enabled and
   * (2) the ORB is initialized with -ORBPreferredInterfaces option.
   * However, in the near future, this will be used in for mode as
   * well, e.g., to support TAG_ALTERNATE_IIOP_ADDRESS  feature.
   *
   * This is probably as good a place to discuss how the list of
   * endpoints is used for #2. If the ORB is configured to use
   * preferred interfaces for invocation, TAO creates an endpoint per
   * preferred interface. To be clear, every tuple
   * <destination:target> will have an endpoint. What TAO essentially
   * does is that creates it multiple endpoints so that the invocation
   * code path can use existing iterating techniques to try one
   * preferred interface after another (if the first did not work). If
   * the ORB is configured with -ORBEnforcePreferredInterface set to
   * false in addition to the ORBPreferredInterfaces option , TAO
   * creates another endpoint with the preferred bit set to null, so
   * that the invocation code can fall back to a SCTP stack returned
   * local address.
   * Addressing info of the default endpoint, i.e., head of the list,
   * is transmitted using standard SCIOP ProfileBody components.  See
   * <encode_endpoints> method documentation above for how the rest of
   * the endpoint list is transmitted.
