opportunities to optimize will be exploited. Future work on
optimization of DII/DSI performance will also benefit dynamic
anys.

<ul>
<li><p>Implementation of dynamic any classes for value types, boxed value
types, and fixed types, as these types themselves are implemented
in TAO (value types are partially implemented, but the implementation
does not include Any insertion/extraction operators or type codes).
</p></li>
<li><p>Implementation of get and insert operations for abstract interfaces,
when abstract interfaces themselves are implemented in TAO.

<ul>
<li><p>Transfer of dynany-specific code from the TAO library to the
TAO_DynamicAny library, in ACE_ROOT/TAO/tao/DynamicAny.
</p></li>
<li><p>Overhaul of existing implementation of dynamic anys in TAO to comply
with changes to the dynamic any spec that appeared in CORBA 2.3.1, and
with additional changes that appeared in CORBA 2.4.2.
