Issue 4801: Unable to find the refrence to the ConnectorRegistry from the appendix A.1 (pss-ftf)

Chapter 1.5 mentions the ConnectorRegistry object. From the code sample I assume that it should be part of the CosPersistentState module. Hoveever, I am unable to find the refrence to the ConnectorRegistry from the appendix A.1, "Complete IDL" (shouldn't it be "Complete PSDL" instead?) 

the ConnectorRegistry is present also in the appendix B, "Example: An Implementation of the Naming Service"

Production 19 : "abstract_storagehome" is not correct. Replace it with
"abstract storagehome".

Production 27 : a double quote is missing : {" instead of "{". Add the
double quote.
Production 45 : an underscore is missing in the name of the rule.
Replace <abstract storagehome_name> with <abstract_storagehome_name>
Production 48: there is a redundancy : square brackets are not
useful.Remove them

paragraph 3.2.5.1 : the production <abstract_storage_type_member> refers
to 
<abstract_storage_type_dcl> which is defined in production 10 as
<psdl_state_dcl>. 
Pick one or the other and changes references as required

paragraph 3.2.5.6 : There is two mistakes : "abstract_storagehome" and
 "abstract""storagehome" are referenced instead of "abstract
storagehome

paragraph 3.2.6.4 : The <absract_storagehome_header> is not correctly
defined.
The production [<primary_key_dcl>] is missing. Add it.

1. Remove the following text in formal/02-09-06 on page 1-6 

CosPersistentState.ConnectorRegistry connectorRegistry = CosPersistentState.ConnectorRegistryHelper.narrow( myOrb.resolve_initial_references("PSS") ); CosPersistentState.Connector connector = connectorRegistry.find_connector(""); 


2. Remove the following text in formal/02-09-06 on page B-6 

// get connector registry CosPersistentState.ConnectorRegistry registry = CosPersistentState.ConnectorRegistryHelper. narrow( myOrb.resolve_initial_references("PSS") );

In the PSDL state type grammar, the state member can't be a sequence type as the following text:
formal/02-06-05 on page 3-8
<psdl_state_type_spec> ::= <base_type_spec>
   |  <string_type>
   |  <wide_string_type>
   |  <abstract_storagetype_ref_type>
   |  <scoped_name>
...
<scoped_name> must denote a previously declared [abstract or local] interface,
struct, union, type, [abstract] valuetype, or a previously defined abstract storagetype.
...
 
It's very useful if the sequence type be a state member, which is currently not possible.
 
Resolution:
 
Replace the following text in formal/02-06-05 on page 3-8
<psdl_state_type_spec> ::= <base_type_spec>
   |  <string_type>
   |  <wide_string_type>
   |  <abstract_storagetype_ref_type>
   |  <scoped_name>
   
with
<psdl_state_type_spec> ::= <base_type_spec>
   |  <sequence_type>
   |  <string_type>
   |  <wide_string_type>
   |  <abstract_storagetype_ref_type>
   |  <scoped_name>
 

The referenced page cites the existence of a ConnectorRegistry in the CosPeristentState module. But there is no such interface in the IDL. Perhaps I've missed something?
