During the Thread my main line of reasoning has got
completly out of scope.

You will find in the Ada 95 communit a lot of open
source software solutions covering the following topics:

GUI   -> GtkAda, Claw etc.
Networking -> adasockets
http -> AWS
....XML,SOAP + 1 Million implemantions of lists and container
(including mine).

These components have been implemented because they are
needed.
Since they are not standarized the consequence that you
will find a lot of derivates of these packages in the
net (specially lists and containers are a nice
example) because everybody reinvents the stuff.

And i am wondering if there could be a processed
established which brings these things back into the
standard in order to avoid the reinvention of
state of the art components.
