Chapter 3: Data types
=====================
* [Clause 3.4.2, pg 43]: Typo on parenthesis (e instead of a)

Chapter 4: Expressions
======================
* [Clause 4.5, syntax 4-2, pg 76]: change 
analog_filter_function_concatenation to analog_filter_function_array as 
it is an array and not concatenation for both laplace and Zi
* [Clause 4.6.4, Syntax 4-3, pg 96]: noise_table should use 
constant_arrayinit syntax instead of constant_concatenation syntax.
* [Clause 4.6.4, Syntax 4-3, pg 96]: noise_table should also allow 
parameter array to be specified (as mentioned in the body of that 
section in clause 4.6.4.3).

Chapter 5: Analog behavior
==========================
* [Clause 5.10, pg 124]: The plural form "parentheses" to be used.
* [Clause 5.10.3.1, pg 127]: add the non-negative clause to the time_tol 
description for cross (same as transition)
* [Clause 5.10.3.2, pg 129]: add the non-negative clause to the time_tol 
description for above function
* [Clause 5.10.3.3, pg 130]: add the non-negative clause to the time_tol 
description for timer function

Annex A: BNF
============
* [Clause A.2.4, pg 344]: change constant_array_init to constant_arrayinit
* [Clause A.8.1, pg 359]: Should be apostrophe instead of a back-tick 
for the constant_arrayinit and constant_optional_arrayinit syntax items.
* [Clause A.8.1, pg 359]: analog_filter_function_array should use 
constant_optional_arrayinit instead of constant_concatenation in the 
syntax definition (as laplace/zi use array and can have optional values)
analog_filter_function_concatenation ::=
parameter_identifier
| parameter_identifier [ msb_constant_expression : lsb_constant_expression ]
| constant_optional_arrayinit
* [Clause A.8.2, pg 360]: change noise_table syntax to use 
constant_arrayinit and support array parameters
noise_table ( constant_arrayinit | parameter_identifier | string [ , 
string ] )
* [Clause A.8.2, pg 360]: Arguments for analysis_function_call should 
not be optional. Remove outer []
* [Clause A.8.2, pg 361]: For ac_stim the open square bracket, [, should 
be in blue

======
* Dave will publish draft6 change bar version and clean version at the 
website
