Hello Geoffrey,

Apologies for not attending the last call. I have not had time yet to go 
into a detailed look of the changes, so the following notes should be 
followed up with some more later. Hopefully my feedback back below will 
be useful and its not doubling up on the discussions in the call.

1) One minor thing, I suggest changing the following syntax format to 
avoid any potential confusion.
From:

    syntax_item ::= syntax_description (From Annex A.x.x)

to:

    syntax_item ::= (From Annex A.x.x)
        syntax_description

I don't think 1365-2005 puts the section reference after the one-liner 
syntax statement.

2) Regarding the structure of the chapter, I understand that disciplines 
and natures are closely tied with nets, but they are data types on there 
own right. So I suggest changing the structure to:
    
3 Data types
3.1 Integers and Reals
3.2 Parameters
3.3 Genvars
3.4 Natures
3.5 Disciplines
3.6 Nets
3.7 Branches
3.8 Namespace      

The "Nets" section describes the extension to the 1364-2005 net 
declarations. This section would include "default discipline", 
"discipline precedence", "real net declarations" and "net compatibility" 
sections.

3) There is no mention of how or where the Verilog-AMS data types can be 
used wrt. the 1364-2005 generate statements.


Regards
Graham
