That doesn't sound much like integration to me, just moving the current standard to the IEEE - whereabouts is the decision documented? We had a presentation recently about the problems of power management in ASICs - seems like something that SystemVerilog-AMS would be essential for, but I'm not seeing any discussion on the SV or AMS committees about the problem.
