	Though such would violate the original DoD intent for Ada: no
supersets, no subsets, ONE language to replace the plethora of languages in
use by the military in the 70s.

	A subset would not pass the ACVC, and prior to the DoD releasing "Ada"
as a trademark, could not legally be referred to as supporting the Ada
language.
