No: the fact that it is required to raise an exception does not imply

This sounds dangerous to me; I have always assumed that the
pre-defined packages behaved _precisely_ as specified in the LRM,
_including_ which exceptions may be raised. Thus, if the LRM does not
state that a particular routine may raise an exception, it should not
do so. This is critical in writting exception handlers; we have to
know which exceptions a routine may raise in order to handle them all.
