I would like to know for-sure as well; my intuitive guess is something rather analogous to what EBNF is to syntax for semantics -- or, if you will, the executor/interpreter of subsequent stages of a multistage-grammar.

Right ? I'm much more in the Cathedral camp; to the extent that I believe that the [TTBOMK] R-1000 was the closest to an ideal IDE that "the industry" has seen. See: http://www.somethinkodd.com/oddthinking/2006/01/07/introducing-the-rational-1000/ IMO it's just shameful that Ada doesn't have a standardized*, public, DB-based analog to CPAN. * For some value of 'standard'; I'm not saying it should be part of the ARM/ISO standard, but certainly something that's open, "referencable" and usable.
