TLM-2 related issue

All,
 
One minor weakness of TLM-2 is that the buswidth of the sockets are
compile time constants. That makes it a lot harder to do elaboration time
hookup based on an input description of an architecture (e.g., IP-XACT) in
a practical way. Without requiring any change to the way the TLM-2
interfaces or code, would it be possible to specify in the standard that a
buswidth of 0 indicates that the buswidth will be configured in a separate
(user/integrator defined) way, and that there is no standard defined
enforcement of buswidths between sockets (enforcement of buswidth
compatibility is left to the user/integrator).
 
 
Best regards,
