I would just like to note that the work currently going on does not
appear to be leading towards an IEEE Verilog-AMS standard. The
SystemVerilog committees appear to be working on a tight schedule to clean
up their LRM for submission to the IEEE and are not spending any time
considering integrating Verilog-AMS. If SV gets to the IEEE much ahead of
AMS, integration will be much harder, and could be pushed off
indefinitely.

The plan this time last year was just to clean up the BNF and minor
issues and submit the LRM to the IEEE and/or to roll it into SystemVerilog
before the end of 2003.

Is there any date for that happening now?

Kev.
