- Is it possible to return an interface as an [out] parameter, receiving a proxy to a remoted object?

Both are possible.
H. S. Lahman list available options and argues that passing anything else than values is dangerous and causes high coupling: http://groups.google.ca/groups?selm=3B86C364.AB1A6066%40worldnet.att.net (the paragraphs starting with "pure message").
If you use well-defined interfaces I can't see how that would cause any higher coupling than during normal circumstances (remoting aside). A pretty common usage would be implementing the Observer pattern cross-process. [snip]
Yes. Counting semantic is usability mistake, at least according to: http://www.relisoft.com/win32/olerant.html
That's a rant alright, which would seem to include shared_ptr's as well - or? // Johan
