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.
