I agree with Jeffrey here. Object_Value_T is just not a good name.

What object? What is value?

I prefer some descriptive names like:

    Family_Name
    Cover_Color
    Log_Filename

I have one exception where I use Object for tagged types as I try to 
design package to avoid use clause this is fine.

    package SMTP is
       ...

    package SMTP.Server is
       type Object is tagged...

    Wanadoo : SMTP.Server.Object;

Pascal.
