I would prefer to work together with vendors in step 1. We as Remedy IT did
upgrade our OMG membership last year to be able to support this kind of
efforts through the OMG. We for example made a Ruby language mapping which
we want to standardize through the OMG. Other effort we are supporting is
adding compression support to CORBA and CORBA/e. We can learn a lot from the
boost community how to get a improved C++ mapping, any cooperation is
welcome there. Personally I want to be involved in this effort, my biggest
challenge is to find enough time for supporting this.

Also there is an important role for the users. If they ask the vendors for
the implementation of the new proposed C++ mapping it is up to the vendors
to react. If this for example means that customers move to a different ORB
it will probably lead to reactors from vendors soon.
