Mark,
Could we review the following proposed changes to the DCDL syntax on 5/16.
1. The external load command in the current version of the spec is
insufficient to
 address asserting wire and pin capacitance. I propose that we either add
options
 to external load command or create two separate commands in the Parasitics
section
to address this capability,
The syntax proposal is as follows,
wire_capacitance  -total_cap  double | -wire_cap  double  -nets / -pins
list of strings
-process  worst_case / best_case / nominal
pin_capacitance   -value  double  -pins  list of strings  -process
worst_case / best_case /nominal
et::set_driving_cell
2. driver_specification
Add the rise/fall, from pin , library and multiply options to the
driver_specification
         -rise  string
         Specifies the name of the library cell driving the specified port for the rise transition only
     -fall  string
         Specifies the name of the library cell driving the specified port for the fall transition only
  -from_pin  string
         Specifies the name of the input pin on the library cell driving this port. This pin will be used for both rise and fall transitions.
     -multiply_by  double
         Specifies the multiplication factor for delays and slews.
3. Disable command should allow library cells
