Nature:  Clarification
Severity: 
Summary: Summary: 23.5.5 Mapping for Interfaces (Client-Side Specific)
 
 The section "Object Reference Operations" has some lines in 
 typewriter font:
 
   function Is_Nil(Self : Ref) return Boolean;
 
   procedure Release(Self : Ref"CLASS);
 
 I believe these lines should instead be:
 
   function Is_Nil(Self : Ref"CLASS) return Boolean;
 
   procedure Release(Self : in out Ref"CLASS);
 
 Also, the Release operation is missing from 23.6.8 (Object) 
 and lacking the "CLASS attribute in 23.8.8 (package CORBA.Object)

23.5.5 Mapping for Interfaces (Client-Side Specific)

The section "Object Reference Operations" has some lines in 
typewriter font:

  function Is_Nil(Self : Ref) return Boolean;

  procedure Release(Self : Ref'CLASS);

I believe these lines should instead be:

  function Is_Nil(Self : Ref'CLASS) return Boolean;

  procedure Release(Self : in out Ref'CLASS);

Also, the Release operation is missing from 23.6.8 (Object) 
and lacking the 'CLASS attribute in 23.8.8 (package CORBA.Object)

In issue 1856 (Object Reference Operations Descriptions), 
I had proposed

  function Is_Nil (Self : Ref'CLASS) return Boolean;

Although according to the Resolution this suggestion 
seems to have been accepted (with modification to 
Release), the change to Is_Nil to make the Self parameter 
classwide is not reflected in sections 21.8.4 and 21.35.

My question here is, should the Is_Nil operation be overridable?
That wouldn't seem to be in tune with e.g. the C and C++ mappings.
