[sv-cc] RE: [P1800] clause renumbering in 1364

Shalom,

The PLI 1.0 deprecation left the original clause title for each deprecated
clause, and replaced the contents of the clause with a short paragraph
stating it was deprecated and that the original could be found in 1364-2001.
Specifically, it states (from P1364/D5 Clause 21):

------------
Clause 21, PLI TF and ACC interface mechanism (deprecated)

This clause has been deprecated. See IEEE Std 1364-2001 for the contents of
this clause.
------------

The fact that the title of the clause has been retained from the 1364-2001
LRM is sufficient for readers to find the information in the 1364-2001 LRM.
However, a simple editorial change could make the reference more clear
if/when the P1364-2005 LRM changes clause numbering. All that is needed is
to add the 1364-2001 clause number to this message. I suggest adding the
title as it appeared in 1364-2001, as well.

For example, in the renumbered P1364-2005 Clause 22, we would have:

------------
Clause 22, PLI TF and ACC interface mechanism (deprecated)

This clause has been deprecated. See IEEE Std 1364-2001 Clause 21, PLI TF
and ACC interface mechanism, for the contents of this clause.
------------

The 1364-2001 references won't change, no matter what happens with the
numbering in this or future versions of P1364. IMHO, this is an editorial
change that does not need any formal approval process.
