    I don't believe that SV has changed this. The rule is not an arbitrary
    one, but exists for good reasons, which apply just as well to SV.

    So MTI is not compliant with the standard. That doesn't change the
    standard.

    Out of curiosity, what does MTI do with your example? What happens
    if you remove the instance outside the generate? Since you put it in,
    I am guessing that it must resolve the I1.p into that instance before
    expanding the generate-if.

    I note that MTI is not erroring out and claiming that I1 is declared
    twice in the same scope. Either it is treating the generate-if as
    creating a nested scope (as per the LRM modifications for erratum 113),
    or the implementors were trying to match the original LRM text and failed.
