Why are some working so hard with Ada to get it accepted in the public?
Is there something wrong with the Ada standard?  Is there something
wrong with its controlling agency?  How about examining the model of 
Unix acceptance, or TCP/IP, or SQL, or any other "standard" that has 
been "proclaimed" a "standard" by the market place?  This is not meant 
to open up discussions on what is right, wrong, or indifferent with Ada, 
AJPO, Unix, TCP/IP, SQL, or any other market place-driven "standards," 
but rather to question why none of those models are being examined and 
then, quitely and without fanfare, put into operation?  Why is Ada such
a bit deal?
