Precisely. It's important to remember that separation of spec and body have been 
part of Ada from the beginning, and Ada was designed to support the way S/W 
engineers think and work from the beginning. Like many Ada features, S/W 
engineers understand and like separation of spec and body, and coders don't. For 
me, much of this thread can be viewed simply as people saying "I'm a S/W 
engineer" or "I'm a coder".
