If you want to write a program that checks coding standards, you need
that information, since these are often requires

I understand that the structure of Janus makes it inappropriate to
support ASIS, which is quite understandable given the initial
constraints of the project. But the ARG is in charge of supporting Ada,
not the interests of a particular compiler (and this is also directed to
Gnat, of course).

Standards are meant to be used. Therefore my not-better-informed opinion
is that the problem has been addressed by ISO, with a decision that
APIs, as defined in the standard, can be used.

Not at all. The exact specification of ASIS packages is part of the
standard, including comments. And this standard has been approved by
ISO, with comments.
