I must admit, I don't know preceisely what that means either. I can't
believe that the baseclass implementation of _default_POA() would do
anything other than return the root POA. Does it in fact mean that you
_still_ have to override _default_POA(), and then if the returned POA has a
single activation of the object, then that's the object reference you get?
That seems the only logical explanation of what it says, in which case if
you don't override _default_POA(), then you might _still_ get an inadvertent
activation in the root POA.
