Here's my initial comments on draft 3.

1. My proposal BE18 has not been embodied in the current proposal/text.
  It does not implement my requested (existing in XL) feature
  of upward searching for task/function names that don't exist
  in the local module.[12.5.1]

2. The text of $random isn't really clear about how the parameter
   passed to $random affects functionality. E.g.
   $random(seed1)
   $random(seed2)
   $random

   All generate different random streams.

<p>3. Standard algorithm we received from Cadence have not received
   approval from cadence and are not in the spec.

4. The $value$plusargs writeup is missing from the spec.

5. Missing `ifndef from table on page 313.

6. 19.7 "The compiler is expected to maintain [the] current line number
and filename. [page 319]

7. Missing ANSI declarations functionality.

8. BNF system_timing_check statements are out of date wrt specparam
   section.
