+Summary of Private exchange between Brad Moore and Randy Brukardt in June 2010:
+
+Brad:
+There are inconsistencies between usage of "type-conformant" and "type conformant"
+without the hyphen. These need to be made consistent.
+
+Randy:
+AI05-0207 is correcting this by removing the hyphen from the existing (ancient)
+Ada standard text. Thus the hyphen appears when the original (incorrect) text is
+given. I didn't find any other uses of the hyphen.
+
+Brad:
+Luke said he counted 14 occurrences of -conformant in the document
+mode-conformant and type-conformant.
+
+Were you planning to remove the mode-conformant hyphens as well?
+
+Randy:
+By document, I presume you mean the Ada Standard and not the AI.
+
+I wasn't, because no one had asked me to. Generally, we decided to fix hyphens only
+when we were already working on the text in question (because the Ada 95 standard was
+wildly inconsistent in how it used hyphens, and fixing all of them would be a massive
+job, probably introducing a number of errors on its own).
+
+But if you want me to add that to the presentation AI, I can do that. I didn't find
+14 occurrences in normative text, but there definitely are a bunch. Since the term is
+defined as "mode conformant" with no hyphen, it is silly to use it with a hyphen
+unless it is used as a adjective (which makes no sense for this term).
