Not surprising. I'm not sure if sockets are the best way to handle networking in-general -- though they certainly are the most popular.

Ah, something to note. I was playing around with the Ada 2012 / 2005 functionality in a testing project and found that GNAT (Adacore's free one) allowed my to specify different Ada-versions for spec and body. eg:

Pragma Ada_2005;
Package Testing is [...] end Testing;

------

Pragma Ada_2012;
Package Body Testing is [...] end Testing;

or vice-versa.
