If I understand you correctly, then you are proposing to only use:
       
  typedef string PropertyName;
  struct Property {
    PropertyName property_name;
    any property_value;
  };

No PropertySet, PropertySetFactory, none of the iterators etc. ?

If this is the case then I see absolutely no negative effects except the
distinct possiblity that this could be an evil and subtle OMG plot to
inch us closer to implementing the whole of Cos* one teensy bit at a
time ;>

years ISMB, we do CORBA too, our idl sucks, we're busy moving over to
supporting whatever comes out of the BioCORBA / BSANE debacle.
