    Well, section 15.1 now says:

      "Although they begin with a $, timing checks are not system tasks. The
      leading $ is present because of historical reasons, and timing checks
      shall not be confused with system tasks. In particular, no system task
      can appear in a specify block, and no timing check can appear in
      procedural code."
      
    After going to all the trouble to say that, I don't think it makes sense
    to lump them in with system tasks in section 2.7.4. If they are going to
    be mentioned in section 2, they should be distinguished from system tasks,
    to be consistent with 15.1.
