I don't see how that is remotely possible. The whole point of ASIS is
to access the knowledge the compiler has about the source. Thus the
compiler has to provide functions to access that knowledge.

The point of ASIS is to provide a standard way to access information about the source that the compiler has saved. The format of this information is not specified. I suspect Wright is hoping an Ada-0X version of ASIS will specify the format, using XML.
