RE: [sv-bc] RE: [P1800] Updated Database

As the co-author of the "SystemVerilog Golden Reference Guide", I have
found the drafts with change-bars etc. invaluable in understanding *exactly*
what changes have been made to the language. No doubt others working with
SystemVerilog also find this useful. Could a version with change bars
be made public?

Also, is there a concise list of the proposed changes anywhere, other
than the database itself?

Thanks.
