I contacted the SA about problems I had with balloting and review of
negative votes on the SDF standard. They feel on deaf ears. That is
partly why I dropped my SA membership. Organizations can change and
perhaps they are better now. However, lobbying SA won't get VHDL
anywhere. We need to be lobbying the users of VHDL but we have no direct
connection to them.

If that's it then we can find those attributes virtually anywhere. Why
not ANSI for example? Or Accelera?
