    >Description:

    7.8 "pullup and pulldown sources" says,

    "A pullup source shall place a logic value 1 on the nets connected in its terminal list. A pulldown source shall place a logic value 0 on the nets connected in its terminal list. The signals that these sources place on nets shall have pull strength in the absence of a strength specification. If conflicting strength specification is declared, it shall be ignored. There shall be no delay specifications for these sources."

    What does "conflicting strength specification" mean ?

    I thought it meant if I specify strong1, for example.

    But I tried that in Verilog-XL and found that if I specify strong1,
    it really does get strong1.

    So the sentence is definitely unclear and possibly incorrect.
