"OTOH, if RR's bindings are "good" or even "half-way good", they could
and possibly should serve as an interim defacto standard."

I actually think that by FAR the mor important issue is to have a relatively
widely implemented thin binding. This is what tool vendors need, Relatively
few programs these days are written by making direct calls to the X or
windows interface, instead GUI's are built with high level tools. It is
these tools that need porting to Ada, and for that purpose a well designed,
universally implemented thin binding is what is needed. The intermetrics
bindings are intended as a candidate for this purpose.
