Great. I also got some feedback for IDL spec from HPI people, but  
mostly regarding formulations. I will release the final document  
after christmas, if there are no more issues found by somebody else  
on the list.

I am somehow confused. I thought the NO_MORE_ELEMENTS error is only  
needed for the string vector helper functions in the C binding. Java  
and friends have native vector types, so there is simply no need for  
the helper functions, and therefore also no need for this error.  
Right ?!?
