Corba does specify a wire-level protocol, and also several layers above
that, so we would get endian issues resolved as well as
security/encryption, authentication, etc. Also, it may (at least
partially) address the need for different client libraries for different
languages, since there are Corba bindings available for a bunch of
languages. Some of that is up to the package one chooses to use...
