You forgot: Other languages don't have task types or ANNEX E.

Recently did a Weblogic course and to my surprise learned that if the 
server applications raises an exception A that the client will receive 
exception B with B being either ...UserException or ...SystemException 
(can't recall the exact names) and all extra informations lost.

I found that very restricting and not a solution I which for in Ada.

But as Randy pointed out: With external streaming it might be possible. 
Maybe next time round.
