    These questions are best directed to etf@boyd.com, the email address
    for the Errat Task Force of the IEEE 1364 Working Group, where
    extensive work is underway on improving the IEEE 1364 Verilog
    Standard.

    The Accellera effort to which you posted your email is looking at
    future technologies and syntax for consideration of inclusion; whereas
    the IEEE 1364 is working on the standard in use today.

    I have forwarded your email to the right place.

    Chair, IEEE 1364 Verilog Hardware Description Language Working Group.
