Crassness is in the eye of the beholder.  :)

However, bacause of the various options, variations,
and international distribution and conversion issues,
I hesitate to state pricing here.  The internet has
provided some rapid "lessons learned" for international
companies...   

I will say that we've followed the spirit of ActivAda
in attemption to price products to meet every need
(I should say, every reasonable need), with academic,
personal, professional, and project-based packaging
and pricing.

I thought it might look odd to say:

"ObjectAda includes Annexes C and D"

because no doubt a nitpicker of a different bent 
would then ask:  "What happened to A and B?"
