If someone is willing to suggest actual wording in
terms of the semantics, I could incorporate these.

I am not willing to just drop in "local" due to
concerns I've raised before.  Issues related to
the interaction of "local" with enclosed imports
must be resolved.  I think that this should wait
until we have consensus on the actual form of export
and any suggested import changes before dealing
with local.  I strongly support the introduction
of local but don't think it can just be added without
consideration of various issues.  I am not willing
to spend the time on that until we have an agreed
on proposal for import and export.

Dropping in the unqualified import/export (no ::),
has a larger non-local impact in other sections of
the LRM.  I'd prefer to leave that as a separate
item so that someone else can do that part.  Again,
if someone wants to provide the specific change,
I'd be willing to incorporate that.

Gord.

Gord's most recent version is attached.

Some important suggestions that have been made so far are --

Allow the 'local' qualifier in package declarations

     http://www.eda-stds.org/sv-bc/hm/5069.html

Allow the :: suffix to be omitted from package imports and exports

     http://www.eda-stds.org/sv-bc/hm/5096.html

Typographical and wordsmithing issues can be fixed up later.

I just caught a minor BNF bug in the proposal -- I missed the vertical
bar when I added the "export *::*;" rule.  I fixed the typo and uploaded
the modified version.
