tmoran says

<<If I write "Starting_Point(X) := 0;" for the first, or
"Starting_Point.X := 0;" for the second, I would expect rather similar
instructions to be generated at the (virtual) machine code level.  But
in Jave these are very different - the second (record) approach apparently
requires a whole additional file>>

Only on obsolete browsers, and it seems unnecesary to predicate the design
of an Ada to Java translator on an obsolete design. Note that you can still
run on the old broswer, just inefficiently (i.e. you make a version with
separate files), so i don't see this is a big deal at all.
