Per the POA spec (www.omg.org) POAs are initialized in the 
"holding" state.  This includes the Root POA.  The book,
"CORBA Programming in C++", by Michi Henning and Steve
Vinovski has the best description of the POA and how to use
it I've ever seen.  Makes for excellent reading no matter
which implementation language you use.
