Except when the the phrase "is required" is part of the sentence.
Yes, it is in the IP section BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE - not all
environments support a 'main subprogram' => it has to be an IP to not
have one. And for that matter, to have one!
The requirement is that if an implementation does support a 'main
subprogram' then the very least it has to support is of the style
'procedure Main;'.

Thanks, after nearly 20 years of Ada use, I think I'm getting the hang
of what binders and linkers do and the binder does a lot more than
just build an interface to the environment...[at least on some of the
products I've used. Can't speak for all that I have used and certainly
can't for those that I haven't used.]
Cheers
