Summary: Section 1.5.1 describes the _default_POA operation as returning the value of 
ORB.resolve_initial_reference ("RootPOA").

What ORB is used for this call (assumed static implementation-defined)? What 
if no ORB has been initialized yet? What exceptions are raised if there is no 
ORB?

Also, the _this operation needs a POA -- which post likely implies that it 
calls _default_POA by default. Are the same exceptions raised in this case?

Resolution: The _default_POA operation assumes the default ORB. Any exceptions raised as a result are not specif
Revised Text: The _default_POA operation assumes the default ORB. Any exceptions raised as a result are not specified and thus implementation-defined.
Revised Text:
In 1.6, after the sentence 
  If provided, the orbid must be a string, and the argument vector must be similar to sys.argv.
add 
  If no orbid is given, the default ORB object is returned.
In 1.5.1, replace the sentence 
  The standard implementation returns the same reference as
  ORB.resolve_initial_reference("RootPOA").
with 
  The standard implementation returns the same reference as
  ORB.resolve_initial_reference("RootPOA"), using the default ORB.
