   Unfortunately, this is indeed too late. While making changes on
   small wordings like the one you suggested should not be
   a problem (as long as it is -very- well-defined), any implication
   because of such changes will be a different story. We just do
   not have any other way than to postpone them to 3.2.

   I happen to work for two other non-EDA standard committees
   (PCI-X 2.0 and PCI-Express 1.0a) where any clarification with
   potential big impact is done through release of separate
   white paper (essentially addendum) between major releases. If
   all of us agree this is something that can be done
   in our case (between 3.1 and 3.2), I will ask Vassilios for his
   permission.

   Yes, SV-AC will cross check our part of the LRM looking for
   any inconsistency. There are few other volunteers (outside SV
   committees) who are supposed to do the same.

   Having said that, it is unclear to me, however, how rigorous that
   process is going to be. As all of us are hard-pressed for time, my
   feeling is, in the end, it would be upto us to decide how clean we
   want the LRM to be.
