Section 7.3.6 Reference Counting Mix-in Classes

   - The default ref-counting classes are said to be 'fully concrete'.
     Is this really necessary?
     What is the semantic of '_copy_value' for the ref-counting class?
     => suggest that '_copy_value' MUST NOT be implemented
        (It is implemented by '_copy_value' of the real value type)

	I think it must not be implemented at all by the ref-counting
        classes. If applications do not implement it, they will
inherit
        the ref-counting `_copy_value' method and the return value
will
        probably be of type 'CORBA::DefaultRefCountValueBase'.
