What happened to the spelling of nonblocking in the IEEE Std 1364-2001??

Maq, Yatin -

I just noticed that Nonblocking, spelled correctly in section 5.6.4 and
everywhere else in both the 1364-1995 Standard and Draft 5 of the 2001
Standard, is spelled as two different words (Non blocking) in Draft 6 of
the 1364-2001 Standard. We went to great lengths to remove all of the
inconsistencies in the 1364-2001 text and BNF so that people would quit
misspelling this as non-blocking (the 1364-1995 BNF had this misspelling in
a couple of places).

Please tell me that it is spelled nonblocking in the standard that is being
released by the IEEE (I don't want to fight yet a third spelling of
nonblocking for the next X years).

How did Draft 6 get changed? I did not even think to look at the spelling
of nonblocking in Draft 6 since we did not ask for this change. This is
very frustrating.
