1. New ISAC Issues:

1000    Analyzed        Peter           Accumulated typographical and 
terminology errors.
1070    Analyzed        Peter           VPI Issue 14 -- Prefixes in USE 
clauses
2110    Submitted                           Implicit subtype conversions 
not defined
2111    Analyzed        Chuck          Unknown term used:  selector
2112    Analyzed        Peter            Can attributes be applied to a 
signal on the entity within the architecture for that entity?

2. Open ISAC Issues:

2099    Analyzed        Chuck           Alias declarations introduce 
homographs
There is still an unresolved issue. I'll try to send a summary before 
the meeting.

Pre-2002 IRs to be assigned/evaluated:

1071 The bounds of array aggregates are ill-defined.
1072 Does the elaboration of a process statement create a process?
1074 Interpretation of overloaded name prefixes is unclear.
1075 Self-referential access types are not prohibited.
1076 Applicability of resolution functions is still unclear.
1077 Out ports cannot drive buffer ports.
1079 Conflicting rules for direction of concatenation
1081 Expression elaboration with impure functions
1082 Implicit conversion of a universal real expression
1085 "Staticness" of the predefined attribute INSTANCE_NAME
1086 Use of character literal or operator symbol in alias
1088 Problems with physical mapping of libraries
1089 Visibility problem with components and USE clauses
1090 Do library clauses extend from entities to architectures?
1091 Group constituent names cannot have signatures.
1092 Must a selected name in a use clause denote anything?
1093 Replacement characters (from Ada) complicate parsing.
1094 Bad wording for individual association for subprograms.
1095 Are time literals with real numeric parts exact?
1096 Entity aspect poorly defined for incremental binding.
1097 Why do primary unit names in secondary units differ?
1098 Can variable parameters be left unassociated or not?
1104 Inconsistent, overly restrictive subtype checks.
1105 The elaboration of group declarations is not defined.
1106 Accumulated problems with unclear wording.
1107 Postponed process behave illogically at initialization.
1108 The subtype of a deferred constant may not always be deduced during analysis time.
1109 The term "named entity" it not defined.
1110 The term "object" is not well-defined.
1111 Is a user-defined attribute an object?
1112 Need to disallow conversion function signal parameters.
1114 LRM wording doesn't account for separators.
1115 Should subtype and constraint checks really be made when the driver takes on the value of a signal?
1116 implicit signals in guard expression (via port maps)
1117 Problem with Composite Resolved Signal
1118 Group constituent can't be user-defined attribute name.
1119 LRM is not clear as to when the wait statement condition clause is evaluated in a postponed process.
1120 Inconsistency about the mode of formal parameters of class file.
1121 Meaning of a changed value for reals is not clear
1122 Default binding text and examples disagree
1123 Simulation cycle does not account for processes resuming after expiration of the timeout interval
1124 Are all actuals evaluated in incremental binding?
