RE: [sv-ac] Assertion control question

Dmitry,

Thanks for responding.  I had read that same section in the LRM before
asking my question, but I interpret it differently.  Since the text only
refers to "assertions" and not "assertions directives", I think it excludes
any directives that are not assertions.  The "hint", as you put it, in the
LRM is not definitive.

I thought the deadline for determining what Mantis items will be worked on
was November 15, so I would think that this could be added to the list--at
least for a few more hours.  Hopefully, it would be a simple fix that would
not be something AC members would need to debate.  Regardless, I would hope
the AC has a Mantis item on this issue.
