Re: Is it Ada 2005 or Ada 2007?

I have seen the "new" Ada referred to as both Ada 2005 and Ada 2007.
When referring to the new standard and without referring to any
particular implementation of it, which is correct or preferred? I sort
of understand that the standard wasn't agreed to until 2007 but that
might not be the defining event. Is there an official designation or
are left to our own devices to call it what we want?

Formally, it is "ISO/IEC 8652:1995(E) with Corrigendum 1 and Amendment
1".

For a reference for these details, see
http://www.adaic.org/standards/ada05.html

That page consistently calls the language "Ada 2005".

Officially informally (!), it is "Ada 2005" because ARM 3.1/2 says so.
That is the result of a majority agreement between the members of the
working group, most of whom are compiler vendors.

Just being pedantic, I don't see that statement in ARM 3.1/2; that
paragraph doesn't exist; see
http://www.adaic.org/standards/05rm/html/RM-3-1.html

Perhaps you meant a different paragraph?
