The obvious drawback of this approach (apart from being Windows-only,
you really want CORBA for portability), is that you can't export the
script interface back into the server. You also can't inherit scripted
objects from the server objects or from other scripts. So it's not a
seamless relationship, it's merely the ability to reuse the exposed
interface.

The system Bruce and I have in mind would allow to extend and override
/any/ driver interface (modulo security checks), including the proper
internals.
