     Should be "positive" instead of "nonzero". See #76.

     What is a "true" concatentation? Maybe "regular" concatenations, instead?
     
     "nested concatenations" have not been mentioned yet.

     Sounds like it says,
     "can neither be assigned to output or inout ports nor .."
     
     How about something like
     "shall not appear on the left-hand size of an assignment"?
     
     (Note that the language should be "shall not" instead of "can not".)
     
     The rest looks OK.
