Ada source, whatever their format is (actually plain text), should be  
readable without the help of analysis of an IDE's tools, I personally  
expect it to be readable as text in whatever format, readable in the  
format it is to be written with. Else that would mean Ada RM should also  
specifies IDE's required capabilities? The analysis tools are for the  
added value, not the primary value, and should not be required to read the  
source correctly (just a personal expectation though, opinions may  
differs).
