Putting on my NASA hat, I must point out that those standards are
_not_ NASA-wide standards, but Goddard flight software standards.
Goddard is only one of many NASA centers, and the flight software
group at Goddard is a small part of the Goddard software community.

And in fact, my group, consisting of 5 programmers, is the only group
following those standards. Things on the web are not always what they
seem :).

There is a slightly more up-to-date version on my project website:
http://fsw.gsfc.nasa.gov/gds/gds_internal.html 

Enforcement of the standard is accomplished partly by using GNAT and
Emacs, but mostly by me reading _all_ of the code, as it is checked
into CVS.
