Subject: Ada 2005 & IEEE 754r ?

Is anyone involved with the Ada 2005 revision also tracking the
proposed changed to IEEE-STD-754 (the binary floating point arithmetic
standard)? I'm asking because the draft of 754r cites several languages
(C99, Java,C Fortran, PL/1, COBOL) in its rationale but it doesn't
mention Ada anywhere. The revised standard defines new decimal
arithmetic types and it would be a bad thing if they are somehow
incompatable with decimal types in Ada. I don't know enough to evaluate
this myself so I'm hoping someone else can look at this and see if
there are any potential conflicts.
See http://754r.ucbtest.org/drafts/754r.pdf and
http://754r.ucbtest.org/ for more information.
