I'm wondering how this is going to work since most of the IEEE effort
has shifted to SV. I don't think you'll find anyone keen on working on a
new rev of an old standard, so I doubt it will ever get ratified (and I
see no point in another Accellera standard).
SV is still in a state of flux, IMO it would be better to go in at the
deep end and merge with the latest rev of that.

SV has much better C/C++ interfacing, can table models be supported that
way (outside the committee/LRM)?

I think you need to donate the current LRM to the IEEE ASAP, and create
a subcommittee of P1800 to handle the integration - but I'm not too
familiar with how that works. Dennis Brophy, Victor Berman or David
Smith (to name but a few) could probably outline the process.

All the experts can be found on the SV reflectors
(http://www.eda.org/sv-ec [-bc,-cc,...] /hm).

It will take a lot longer if AMS is continually an afterthought in the
LRM process. AMS needs to part of the IEEE SV development effort as
soon as possible.

The new (user defined) data-types in SV will help in supporting RF.
