Of course it is still there. It'll always be there. As I said in the
previous message:
"Note that the on-line versions track the printed ones in order to avoid
confusion."

We don't update the on-line versions (even though we could) so that people
can reference *the* current Ada standard. Otherwise, if there was a number
of different versions about, it would be very easy for people to be confused
by seeing different things when the same paragraph is referenced.

This particular problem wouldn't be a major concern, but it would hardly be
worth the (4 hour or so) effort to fix just this. And deciding what fixes
(there are more than 50 approved AIs now) to put in and which to leave out
would be a lot of effort.

The working version of the combined standard has this fixed (along with many
other things), but it is not available to the public.

There are no public links; mostly not until a formal effort to update the
standard is launched.
