I hate to make a "me too" post (especially with Robert. I wonder if I'm
running a fever or something... :-)  ) but I couldn't agree more with
this. If someone would independently html'ize the LRM, I'd never need to
visit adahome again.

Plus I think it leaves a bad impression with newbies to send them to an
unmaintained site full of dead links and outdated info. Anyone who has
been told that Ada is a "dead" language is liable to have the suspicion
reinforced when they visit adahome.
