I think it is risky to assume that new people know the conventions here.
Personally, I have been reading and posting here for a couple months and
I did not know that there was such a convention until you were kind
enough to point it out to me.
I think it is far safer to determine which version of the language they
are using from context. When people use Ada 83 syntax, I assume they are
using Ada 83 unless they state otherwise.
