I mean that you have to apply pressure on the compiler venors to support and
include or at least point to _prominently_ within their documentation, the
APIWG web site. It would be up to the user from their.

If you don't advertise these things the average Ada user is going to simply
be
unaware they exist. I'm not saying that I like the average Ada users lack of
gumption but this seems to be the lesson from the previous attempts at
"secondary" standards. :-(
