It's hard to tell. The OMG specs are notoriously hard to read until you
already understand what you're trying to find out by reading the spec.

But from what I can tell, the PIDL interface for the POA in the CORBA
2.3 specification definately shows the destroy() operation on the POA
interface, with no mention that I can find of it being static. Since
there's no way to define a static method in IDL, I'd say the method is
not supposed to be static.

For reference, see section 11.3.8.4 of the CORBA 2.3 spec for the
description of the destroy() operation, and section 11.4 for the IDL for
the entire PortableServer module. The destroy() operation is on page
11-45.

If noone makes any noise in the next <x> days, I'll make the change to
the header file in CVS.

Not that it's all that useful... it's not implemented yet. Tee hee.
