removal check

Hello,

I just found my first use for the tremoval generic. I created a model
and a SDF file and tried to annotate timing. The simulator, ModelSim
5.2d did not seem to understand the REMOVAL keyword in the SDF file. On
further investigation, it appears that while VITAL95 is based on SDF
2.1, the REMOVAL keyword was not added to SDF until version 3.0.
Therefor, although it is in the standard, it cannot be expected to work.

Is my understanding correct? Would anyone from the TAG (or elsewhere)
care to comment?

Thanks,
Rick Munden
