Yes. but at the moment the validation suite only consists of those
parts of Ada that are common between Ada 83 and Ada 95 does it not.
The fact is that the full validation suite including all the Ada 95
features won't be available until sometime in 1997.

Hopefully the fact that the language has been divided into the Core
language and the specialised needs annexes willhelp to ensure that Ada
95 validation is superior to Ada 83 validation. From my experience,
Ada 83 validation didn't appear to prove much!
