Hi Santos,

Unfortunately that's how CORBA valuetypes work in C++. I wonder it it would
be a good idea to provide a TAO extension to allow automatic registration
of "data-only" valuetypes. If someone is interested, I can sketch out how
things might work.

I don't think you want this. In your case the receiver of the truncated
valuetype will only get the base valuetype data.
