And surely Ada 95 is both O and O ;-)

Remember, you are not designing language constructs, you are designing a
collective system of interacting objects. Packages are an excellent way to
encapsulate data and responsibilities - CLASS or OBJECT!

Surely yes for the first "O", but not so certain for the second one.

The problem is exactly opposite: Ada95 has all conventional OO features, but
it also has very important features that do not belong to common OO stuff.
For example, Ada packages. Do you think that the UML is right tool for
design
and representation of Ada packages?
