[sv-ec] pure virtual method declarations

In classes, a pure virtual method declaration can have a
class_item_qualifier:

 

class_method ::=

.

| pure virtual { class_item_qualifier } method_prototype ;

 

class_item_qualifier8 ::=

  static

| protected

| local

 

In an interface class, a pure virtual method declaration may not:

 

interface_class_item ::=

.

| { attribute_instance } interface_class_method

 

interface_class_method ::=

pure virtual method_prototype ;

 

Is this deliberate?

 

Thanks,
