Hmm... what kind of "method implementations" do mean in this case?
Do you plan on having a .NET object, where one or more Methods are 
actually implemented in Mathematica (ie. the method knows the name of 
its corresponding Mathematica expression and evaluates it using Mathlink)?

Are there any plans on doing something like this for Java?
It would be feasible using BCEL and a bit of classloader trickery (there
is an article on how the Beanshell guys did it over at Javaworld
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-10-2003/jw-1003-beanshell_p.html ) 
actually, the 1.5 Tiger JSR contains a JSR for a Compiler API, though I 
am not sure how far that goes (there is a beta program for J2SE 1.5,
but it comes with an NDA, so I can't really talk about anything);
