I've considered all this and come to the same conclusion. Well, I wasn't advocating OKL at all - the original subject of this thread was 'how to call a method via OKL' (I presumed the person who asked the question knew why he does it), but we surely came down to 'why' and 'why not' very soon. OKL does sound nice in theory, but in practice should be avoided at safe distance.
