So, are you saying we can use SCE-MI 1 error/info reporting for errors
and warnings that occur in the DPI portion of SCE-MI 2?  DPI and/or
SystemVerilog does not have its own mechanism that we need to support?

So what do you think of the proposal to use SCE-MI 1 error and/or
info handlers to tweak the default behavior of 4-state logic values?
Say the standard mandates sending X and Z is an error, either fatal
or non-fatal.  We could further spec it such that the user would be
able to put an error or info handler (depending on the severity
of the error) in place that would ignore the error and allow the
simulation/emulation to continue.  This would satisfy Russ' wish of
being able to bring up 4-state-full environments in SCE-MI 2 quickly
and at the same time satisfy my wish of being able to detect
portability problems related to 4-state use.
