+
+I wasn't aware of that.  I did look at the AI05's to see if this issue
+had been submitted already, whether by people with names identical to mine
+or not, but it didn't occur to me to look at this particular one since nothing
+about the title made it seem relevant.  Thanks for the info---I'll try to
+remember this next time.

+
+The version I use (noted above) doesn't have this change.  Is the working
+version of the Standard available online?  If so, I can check that first to
+help make sure I don't submit more redundant comments.
+
+My apologies for making you look this up unnecessarily.

+
+The super secret working version is not available to the public. The reason
+is that WG 9 has not decided on any plan for future work on the Ada standard,
+and for me and/or the ARG to make a working document available makes it
+appear that they have. (The changes are identified as belonging to
+"Corrigendum 2", a document that does not exist and may never exist.) It
+would be nice to let you have access to it (it is useful for the very reason
+that you note -- there are already too many approved AI05s to remember them
+all), but my hands are tied.
