There might have been, at one point; but IIUC Adobe made the language-spec/RM free to download... which means we could implement it ourselves; this, in turn, means that we could implement it without [exposed] access types. -- IIRC, it's been a while since I've read the spec.

Maybe; I seem to recall PDF was pushed to ISO-standardization, but might be misremembering.

Well, that's basically Gnoga's approach. I was thinking more of going the other way: using this for a system's base itself. (Possibly being able to share things with other Ada projects; e.g. the Wasabee web-browser.)
