Re: reducing warning messages

Yeah, I understand today we have the scenario that attributes change the 
behavior of the tool, but some of them (I feel) should be ideally part 
of the language. Of course its very difficult to look at various 
implementations/attributes and correctly understand the intent behind 
these attributes.

I hope some of the more key features (if any) implemented through 
attributes because of lack of support through the language provided by 
various simulator tools are discussed and made part of the standard to 
make the models inter-operable and standardize the language.

Of course, this point has been discussed a few times in the past through 
the committee discussions and we have put some notes saying attributes 
may not be compatible.
