There is a public requirements document for Ada 9X.  This
document suggests that the revised language should support
programming by specialization/generalization.
This is generally interpreted as being equivalent to 
inheritance and polymorphism ala C++.

There will be a public release of the first draft
of actual language change proposals within the
next few months, so stay tuned...
