I *personally* agree with Rifaat. Let's first discuss the overall 
approach of the call flow and then decide on the best venue where to 
carry out such work.
This said, and based on the discussion we are having on the list, I bend 
towards considering INVOKE as a straightforward "mechanism" which I 
would be glad to see supported.
