This is not how it's defined in SDK - oleautomation is not used there
and "url" argument has different attributes.

Correct my misconception, but I thought consulting the SDK for public 
headers wasn't allowed?

You can consult the SDK public headers as well as examples and what not.
You can't copy from the headers.
There is one exception though: if you plan to work on MFC then don't
look at the MFC headers. ATL might be similar.
