No. It was mostly a coincidence. We were told that the Ada 2012 Standard
would be published in the December 15th batch of Standards. Joyce Tokar made
a request to date it December 10th in honor of Ada's birthday; she got a
response that ISO couldn't do that. When it actually was published (around
December 15th), we found they had dated it December 10th as requested. Not
sure when/where/how they changed their mind.
If it had been scheduled for, say, February 15th, such a request wouldn't
make any sense. We wouldn't want to delay the Standard for months just so it
can have a cool date.
Randy.
