paramsets - statistics

I was reviewing the paramsets proposal to see if the
excerpt I sent out recently covered all the aspects.
It does not: sections 2.9 - 2.12 are missing.

2.9 and 2.10 deal with Monte-Carlo and statistics,
and require the addition of three keywords,
statistics, process, and mismatch. Also, the
statistical values are stored in variables and
accessed through out-of-module references. I can't
find OOMRs documented; I'd heard that they cannot
be used to access variables.

2.11 and 2.12 deal with hierarchical attributes
and layout descriptions (m,n,x,y,angle used for
mismatch). We're still waiting for a revised
proposal on mfactor.

In the conference call on June 1, we decided that
the LRM for CM was not complete without paramsets
and mfactor. My question is: with mfactor but
without the items above, is this a complete LRM?
Is it at all likely that we could get the rest
of the items approved?

My sense is that verilog-a is not useable for CM
without a .model card; we need the basic functionality.
I think the other features would be nice, but they
haven't been thought through as much, and they could
go in a future revision of the LRM.
