It seams that the paper is filled wilth errors.  

1. The standard is wriiten for another company which may or may not be 
apart of NASA. So is this the true NASA standards?

2. We all know that the ISO adopted the Ada 2005 aka Ada 2007 standards 
back in Jan 2007.  The NASA coding standard is dated in July, 2007 and 
stated that the ISO has not adopted the Ada 2005 standards.  So, either 
this is an error or the paper is just a redated older standard. 

3. In 2004 SGI installed a 512 CPU super computer for NASA that uses 
LINUX and Ada (Ada 95, SGI version).  The paper would have touch on 
that issue as well.  But the only Ada vendor that the paper talked about 
was GNAT and Ada 2005. NASA uses almost every software and hardware 
vendor out there. So, any standard would acknowledge this and state 
issues with each vendor and their implementation of Ada and other 
languages. This paper only uses talks about GNAT and Ada 2005.

And with Congress and the President watching NASA closely. There are too 
many questions or errors in this coding Standard for me to think that this 
is the Standard for NASA coding.
