As far as I remember, the method did not make it to the spec. because of 
the following reasons:
1) JMI does not define anything above RefPackage, so the only place to 
put such a method into is RefPackage which is IMO ugly.
2) One of the EG members was concerned about the fact that it should 
first be stated somewhere in MOF spec. that implementations should be 
able to lookup objects using MOF IDs, otherwise there may be a problem 
accross different mappings.
