I agree that using upper-case is less readable. I like lower case for reserved
words and mixed case for all other words. My first Ada job started this
way, and then changed to the LRM style to be consistant with another group
that had already written more code than we had.
My current project is based on a draft MIL-HDBK-1804 Ada Style Guide. This
is the most detailed coding and style guide I have ever seen. We are required
to put reserved words and attributes in lower case, type identifiers and
enumeration literals in all caps, and all other identifiers in mixed case.
Although this has the advantage of giving a little more information to the
reader, I still prefer using mixed case for all identifiers.
The last I heard is that MIL-HDBK-1804 did not ever pass beyond its draft
status.
