Hi John,

I made the requested change and have uploaded the latest.  It is
attached for convenience.  If my answers to your questions were
satisfactory then it is ready for vote. I will not be able to attend the
meeting today - I'll check the meeting notes for status.

Lisa

Subject: comments on 1722

Hi Lisa:

I have read the proposal for 1722 and have the comments
below.

J.H.



- Should the bind discussion be moved to Clause 19 as suggested by 
  Jonathan Bromley?  This could invite a change in the way the
motivation 
  is presented.

- I understand the motivation of attaching verification code to 
  design code without touching the design.  However, I don't like the 
  sentence

    SystemVerilog provides a bind construct that allows for
instantiating
    a module, interface, or program block into design code without
touching
    the design code.

  because it suggests that only design code targets are allowed.  I
prefer
  something like

    SystemVerilog provides a bind construct that is used to specify one
or
    more instantiations of a module, interface, or program block without
modifying
    the code of the target.

- I see the text you pointed out:

    It shall be an error for a bind statement to bind a
bind_instantiation
    underneath the scope of another bind_instantiation.

  Suppose I have module C that I bind.  Is this saying that it is
illegal to bind 
  and instance module D to target scope C?  If not, then are we saying
that 
  there are different capabilities for binding to target scope and
target 
  instance when multiple bindings are involved?
