    I meant
    "Since a continuous assignment would read in the value of a net declared
    with a 2-state type as 2-state, a z value could be lost in passing
    through a port."

    I used the term "2-state net" to mean a net declared as a 2-state type.
    The term shouldn't be interpreted to mean that the net is represented
    as 2-state internally, since no nets would ever be represented that way
    with this approach.
