Hm, I'm perhaps going to stir up a hornets' nest.

I really cannot understand why anyone would like something like
JavaDoc for Ada code. Java lacks separation of spec and body, thus
JavaDoc is a kludge.

The Ada spec, if written properly, is already the documentation - and
if it isn't, such a tool cannot cure the situation.

I've read (not such a lot) of Ada code documented in this style and
always found that I prefer the Ada spec directly.

So what do you expect from such a tool that the Ada spec does not yet
provide?
