CastToContentRef

Dear colleagues,

I have a question concerning the DAVIC/UK ResidentProgram
"CastToContentRef":

The program has two input parameter (OctetString (S) and Integer (I)),
and an output parameter (ObjectReference (R)). The normal behavior is
easy: S + I -> R .
But, what happens if (S) is empty? One can argue that the empty string
is replaced by the current scope. But what is the scope? The scope of
the resulting ObjectReference, the scope of the ResidentProgram, or the
scope of the Call/Fork action?
Or is it actually forbidden to pass an empty string?

Is there a clarification or a Provisions of Use for the DAVIC/UK programs
available?

Thanks in advance,

Andreas
