  • UNO cons: Specific to OpenOffice/StarOffice.
  • UNO pros: shipped by most distros, mature, meets criteria. Performant, and supports IDL compilation. Could be drop-in replacement.
  • 'Many worlds' cons: Novel approach. Short-term path would retain at-spi dependencies.
  • 'Many worlds' pros: allows short-term adoption of existing implementations, while being future-proof
