If it's a simple one, it will please just a few people, and many people  
will wish there own things (just think that some Ada standard packages may  
already not please everyone, like Text_IO, some containers, … things would  
just be worst with graphics and UIs).

If it's intended to try to please everyone, it would be bulky, and would  
easily consume 95% of the work on the Ada standard, which would be hardly  
acceptable (and this would efficiently prevent standard Ada compilers to  
be created), for something which is not the first Ada concern.

Better choose already existing standards when there are some, and make Ada  
applications use it (either via bindings or implementations), at every  
one's discretion. Defining what standard graphic/GUI/TUI services should  
be, is not an Ada concern anyway.
