as we have discussed privately, my comments stemmed mostly from experience
with Ada 83 RM.  I have not come far enough into the RM9X to really see the
differences you see as so enormous.  so, a possibly premature apology for
the possibly premature comments.  however, I'm no foreigner to standards
and their prose, which may of course also provide some bias in readability
questions.  (failed to understand Algol 68, though, but that was 10 years
ago.)

I don't usually confuse hopes with reality, but they _have_ tended to
influence eachother.
