I consider it finished for normal usage and i know companies
using it in their xmlBlaster application instead of CORBA.

But additional features like http tunneling and firewall piercing
from applets needs further investigation.
I have already used SOCKET to tunnel 2 firewalls and 3 proxies
simultaneously (all in a row) but only with help of 'httptunnel' (for 
the proxy parts).
And installing 'httptunnel' is no option for a normal browser end user.
