                            Summary:For reference_to_servant(), the spec says: > This operation requires the RETAIN policy or the USE_DEFAULT_SERVANT 
 policy.
 > If neither policy is present, the WrongPolicy exception is raised.
 >
 > If the POA has the RETAIN policy and the specified object is present in
 the Active
 > Object Map, this operation returns the servant associated with that object
 in the Active
 > Object Map. Otherwise, if the POA has the USE_DEFAULT_SERVANT policy and a
 > default servant has been registered with the POA, this operation returns
 the default
 > servant. Otherwise, the ObjectNotActive exception is raised.This says that, if I use USE_DEFAULT_SERVANT, reference_to_servant() always 
 and unconditionally returns the default servant.This appears to be wrong. In particular, I can have USE_DEFAULT_SERVANT but 
 still add other servants explicitly to the AOM. If I do that, I can have,
 for example,
 servant X with object ID 1 as an explicitly activated servant, in addition
 to the default
 servant. In this situation, if I call reference_to_servant() with a
 reference with object ID 1,
 it should return servant X instead of the default servant.The exact same reasoning applies to id_to_servant(), which also 
 unconditionally returns
 the default servant with USE_DEFAULT_SERVANT().I think we need to fix this – it appears that the current words are simply 
 wrong.
