[sv-bc] DataTypes: Plans for Dec. 1

Hello,

Johny Srouji suggested that we follow a convention for tagging
datatype-specific emails under sv-bc, to make it easier to filter
and organize our mails. I think that this is a great idea. I have
put a "[sv-bc] DataTypes:" at the start of the subject line for
this mail, and I will do so for the background mails as well.
We can agree on a different convention in our first meeting
if people have other ideas.

I met with Matt Maidment to discuss how to get resolution on
a "nets on datatypes" extension by Dec. 1. I have appended
a schedule that we agreed could get our primary objective
accomplished. We can discuss this at our first meeting.

>Initial net datatype work covers 2 areas:
>1) Extending syntax and semantics for net declarations
>2) 2-state net semantics

>The first area is the primary goal of the subgroup.

>Proposed Schedule:
>Nov 4 - last day to call for future face-to-face meeting
