Hi Chris,
Sorry, I realized later I had assumed you meant compiler optimization.

Agree.
MAC COM was originally designed to work on earlier versions of the OS. At that stage, the extra member was needed. Now it is not needed, but retained for backward compatibility. This need only arises when using *actual* COM. When using interfaces on their own, it is better to not have the extra member.
