Now this is not my cake and probably I will pay for it, but since years Ludovic has always been an extremely polite and insightful poster, and never a troll (indeed, in comp.lang.ada there are no more than one or none trolls). In his posts in this thread I don't detect any intention to be offensive. I think it's all a miscomunication in the channel, a dissonance in the endpoints.

Admittedly, I find it lacking just the final bits to make working with the most common combinations (e.g. utf8) as easy as with plain Strings; now you need a little bit of glue over it. Just mentioning, in case you weren't aware. Cheers, Alex. [1] https://libre.adacore.com/xmlada/
