Section 16.11 on page 16-23 states: "The default constructor for a
bounded sequence always allocates a contents vector...".

This has a bad effect for sequences such as CORBA::ReferenceData,
which
would allocate 1024 octets of storage when just declaring a variable
of
this type, reguardless of whether it is used.

Can't the requirements for bounded sequences be relaxed so that
the full buffer need not be allocated (or no buffer allocated at all
if
the current length is 0)?
