That's right. I can't give you a copy of the Standard unless you're actively 
involved in working on it. We did make the "Committee Draft" version 
available through the SIGAda working group - but it has lots of errors that 
are being corrected.

In any case, I went and read the standard for 
Asis.Ada_Environments.Associate, and I don't see any description at all of 
what the parameters mean. However, the description of type Context gives a 
bit more idea of what is meant. But there is nothing in the standard about 
the contents of these parameters. Moreover, there is this sentence: "The 
concrete mechanism of this association is implementation-specific." You're 
welcome to guess at exactly what this means (there is a lot of such text in 
the Asis standard!)

Anyway, I would expect the actual values used for Name and Parameters in 
Associate to be completely defined by the implementation.
