I second that. I read the draft five years ago and made some comments
on it. By that time, I thougth that it was very nearly ready for
approval.
I see no major Ada 9X features except child library units that could
make this standard significantly better. I would prefer having this
standard approved now than having it delayed (for another 5 years ? :-)
just for a few easthetic fixes.
Besides, I think 1003.5 is, with the Ada-SQL binding, the most
important standard for Ada.
