UNOIDL does not have such a public/protected/private concept.

However, the documentation at 
<https://api.libreoffice.org/docs/idl/ref/> is generated with a tool, 
Doxygen, that is also used to generate documentation for other languages 
besides UNOIDL (like C++ and Java).

Michael (on CC) extended Doxygen to also support UNOIDL.  Looks like 
there is a bug somewhere that causes the generated output to mention 
"public" or "protected" where they don't make sense.
