The issue I am raising is whether it makes sense for us to write the
new standard such that support for any language combination (e.g.,
C/VHDL, C++/oldVerilog, etc.) is optional.  What I mean is, should an
implementation be allowed to call itself fully compliant for a specific
set of language combinations.  This implies full disclosure of what
those combinations are, of course.

The advantage of the above is that any vendor can assess its market
and its customers and focus its efforts on the langauge combination
or combinations that its customers are actually asking for and still
get the stamp of being a compliant implementation.  However, this
is probably a moot point currently since we do not have a way to
prove compliance . . .
