I did contribute the patch:

diff unicode-ccs.adb /work/ada/xmlada-1.0/unicode/unicode-ccs.adb
34d33
< with Unicode.CCS.Iso_8859_15;
52,53d50
<       elsif Name = Iso_8859_15.Name1 then
<          return Iso_8859_15.Iso_8859_15_Character_Set;

and it is probably integrated. But since I have no access the the XML/Ada
cvs tree I cant confirm that. So until there is a new release I have to
keep a patched file in AdaCL as well.

Fine.

Shure.

The problem is not the integration but the long puplic release cycles. I
well understand that public relases does cost money and bring only
marketing value and I fully understand AdaCore here.

Read only cvs access would help.

But that indicates: It is not impossible if you are realy commited to
extened one AdaCore maintained product and you can show that your
extensions are worthy.

(I don't have anything im mind right now - just like to know on basic
principle)
