    unit with Standard specified as the default storage pool. Such a choice for
    an identifier is not recommended and very unlikely to occur, so a simple rule

+Some were concerned about confusion between the identifier-specific-to-a-pragma
+Standard and some entity named "Standard". However, such an entity can never be
+use-visible (as the language-defined Standard is always directly visible and not
+overloadable); therefore it would have to have immediate-visibility for there to
+be any confusion. While immediate-visibility can occur between parent and child
+packages, which is a case similar to use-visibility, it was felt that this
+possibility would be obvious enough and unlikely to occur, so we do not bother
+with any sort of check for this case. "Standard" is always interpreted as an
+identifier specific to the pragma when it occurs in a Default_Storage_Pool
+pragma or aspect. [Author' Note: This last paragraph marked with %%% should be

 I agree with this, and as a response I intend to experiment with making this
 GNAT warning the default, at least for Standard, and maybe for all the other
 entities, or at least have it included in -gnatwa.

+I have included an update. [This is version /07 of the AI.]
+
+It is unusual in that it is both written up with an attempted fix to the
+paragraph, for the remote chance that we decide to keep it, while also including
+some text in the discussion about why we decided to not keep it.
+
+I have also added some comments in square brackets at both of these places
+indicating that one or the other should be deleted.
+
+So hopefully it will just be a matter of deciding which section we want to
+scrap.
