RE: P1666 Ballot resolution discussion - Part 4

Jerome,

I've double-checked the wording of the IEEE criticism. The specific thing
they objected to was the use of the term "Bibliography". They said "
As per IEEE style the Bibliography is reserved for an Informative Annex.
It should either be the first or the last Annex and it should " (sic)

We might be able to reinsert the items under "References" if there was a
consensus to do so, but I would have to check the rules.

This bibliography came from the OSCI TLM-2.0 LRM, not from the previous
version of the 1666 SystemC standard, which had no bibliography. Under
IEEE rules, it is not permissible to include non-normative references in
the main body of the standard, which fact resulted in the draft LRM being
initially rejected by the IEEE. Hence the bibliography was removed. (It
would be possible to add back this bibliography as an Annex at the end of
the LRM, but I do not propose to do this unless there is a consensus to do
so.)
[JC] Just as a curiosity, what is the definition of ?non-normative?? What
makes the current reference to the ?Requirements Specification for TLM 2?
?normative??
