John Barnes noted this error at the ISO WG9 meeting 14 June 1996 in
Montreux, Switzerland.

He submitted the following via email on 19 June 1996:

> The question of whether it is good practice to mix a hierarchy of
> packages and a flat structure in the one standrad also needs to be
> considered.

> It might be better if everything were in Asis or a child of Asis. Of
> course, Asis could be empty apart from its children which is the case
> with some packages in 95 such as Ada.Characters.

!resolution Accepted.

!Notes
 
ASIS has been restructured architecturally so that there is a main
package ASIS and several child packages (a few of which also have
child packages).  The package structure is explained, including an
appropriate diagram, in the ASIS document.
