Which really makes a lot of sense. I've always wondered how *anything* could get done if processes in two "mach namespaces" weren't allowed to communicate with each other. This also alleviates the problem of name space collision between different users, which was another thing I was worried about.
Well, just doing the connections over TCP and using Rendez.. er..
Bonjour for service discovery / collision detection solves all the
inter-user problems. Then you can do machine-to-machine without any
changes in code at all, as well. It'll also work across network
boundaries, if you can add server addresses manually. I can't imagine
that it would be a bottleneck while running on the local host. It's
not much of a security issue either if you just listen to a port on
the loopback interface for single-machine deployments.
I'm still not sure what your reluctance to use IP is.. everyone's using it ;)
