    Steven,

    There would be an ambiguity on

        typedef my_logic ;

    Is that a forward typedef or

        typedef logic my_logic ;

    Otherwise it makes sense to me. The only BNF change needed would be
    in A.2.1.3 and Syntax 3-2, in type_declaration, REPLACE

       data_type

    WITH

       data_type_or_implicit

    Plus some footnote to resolve the ambiguity of

       typedef my_logic ;
