CORBA26 — Section 11.3.8.16 - ambiguity

My issue is the ambiguity surrounding the following statement:

"If the POA has the SYSTEM_ID policy and it detects that the Object Id value was not generated by the system or for this POA, the activate_object_with_id operation may raise the BAD_PARAM system exception."

So the spec says the operation may raise the BAD_PARAM exception, but doesn't have to. It would be nice if the spec were to clarify the exact behaviour that should be followed to remove ambiguity, because I'm finding some ORB implementations are throwing a BAD_PARAM exception whereas others are not raising an error condition at all.
