It would seem that the key issue in this thread is that users want to
use Verilog Gates + SDF with a VHDL top-level testbench. The only
difference is that they don't want to use a mixed language license. Is
that a fair assessment?

If that is true, then all the major eda vendors already support
mixed-language simulation and the real issue is the pricing.
