How about references to the Ada 83 RM, then. Or better, a new doc
which is stylistically as helpful as the 83 RM, but covers the 95
changes.
One problem with any message is that what's crystal clear to the
author is not necessarily so to all readers. It's useful in anything
to have alternate sources of explanation, not because one is
necessarily clearer in all cases, but just because having the same
thing described in two different ways decreases the probability that
any given reader will still not understand.
