Jean,

The title of the ISO standard is "Information Technology -- Programming
languages -- Ada".  No "95" there.  A different cover was added to the
version that was sent out by the Ada 9X office.

The Foreword says, "This second edition cancels and replaces the first
edition (ISO 8652:1987), of which it constitutes a technical revision."

So as far as ISO is concerned, "Ada" refers to the 1995 version of the
language.  (Also, as far as ISO is concerned, Ada 83 is really Ada 87!)
