AFAICT, orbit-python *does* follow the standard mapping on the client
side, and when mapping primitive and constructed types. What it does
not do is a inheritance-based server-side mapping; instead it uses
delegation. While doing so, it appears to follow the spirit of the
mapping; so when porting to another ORB, only minor editing should be
needed.

That would be my recommendation as well. I know both Fnorb and ILU
have been used in large projects. That does not mean that the other
implementations would not do just as fine in such projects, it only
means that there won't that big surprises.
