Thanks to the IDL4 "building blocks" [1], we have clean separation of the common IDL core from transport specific aspects (CORBA, CCM, DDS, etc.)

The IDL to C++11 mapping [2] has taken steps toward IDL4.
The current IDL to Ada mapping [3] is still closely tied in with CORBA.
Is anyone working on aligning it with IDL4?
