The following document is a draft of the corresponding chapter of the
version 21 the Ada Reference Manual produced in response to the Ansi
Canvass. It is given a limited circulation to Ada implementers and to
other groups contributing comments (according to the conventions defined in
RRM.comments). This draft should not be referred to in any publication.
Postscript : Submission of Comments

15. Postscript : Submission of Comments
This postscript is not part of the standard definition of the Ada
programming language.
For submission of comments on this standard Ada reference manual, we would
appreciate them being sent by Arpanet to the address
Ada-Comment at ECLB
If you do not have Arpanet access, please send the comments by mail
Ada Joint Program Office
Office of the Under Secretary of Defense Research and Engineering
Washington, DC 20301
United States of America.
For mail comments, it will assist us if you are able to send them on 8-inch
single-sided single-density IBM format diskette - but even if you can
manage this, please also send us a paper copy, in case of problems with
reading the diskette.
All comments are sorted and processed mechanically in order to simplify
their analysis and to facilitate giving them proper consideration. To aid
this process you are kindly requested to precede each comment with a three
line header
!section ...
!version 23
!topic ...
The section line includes the section number, the paragraph number enclosed
in parentheses, your name or affiliation (or both), and the date in ISO
standard form (year-month-day). The paragraph number is the one given in
the margin of the paper form of this document (it is not contained in the
ECLB files); paragraph numbers are optional, but very helpful. As an
example, here is the section line of comment #1194 on a previous version:
!section 03.02.01(12) D. Taffs 82-04-26
The version line, for comments on the current standard, should only contain
"!version 23". Its purpose is to distinguish comments that refer to
different versions.
The topic line should contain a one line summary of the comment. This line
is essential, and you are kindly asked to avoid topics such as "Typo" or
"Editorial comment" which will not convey any information when printed in a
table of contents. As an example of an informative topic line consider:
!topic Subcomponents of constants are constants
15 - 1
Note also that nothing prevents the topic line from including all the
information of a comment, as in the following topic line:
!topic Insert: "... are {implicitly} defined by a subtype
declaration"
As a final example here is a complete comment received on a prior version
of this manual:
!section 03.02.01(12) D. Taffs 82-04-26
!version 10
!topic Subcomponents of constants are constants
Change "component" to "subcomponent" in the last sentence.
Otherwise the statement is inconsistent with the defined use of
subcomponent in 3.3, which says that subcomponents are excluded
when the term component is used instead of subcomponent.
