Hi, In Draft 3, 1.1 says, - SystemVerilog-2005 refers to IEEE Std 1800-2005 [B5]4 for the SystemVerilog standard. - SystemVerilog 3.1a refers to the Accellera SystemVerilog Language Reference Manual, a pre-cursorto SystemVerilog-2005 [B1] . - Verilog refers to IEEE Std 1364-2005 for the Verilog HDL. - Verilog-2005 refers to IEEE Std 1364-2005 [B5] for the Verilog HDL. - Verilog-2001 refers to IEEE Std 1364-2001 [B4] for the Verilog HDL. - Verilog-1995 refers to IEEE Std 1364-1995 [B3] for the Verilog HDL. SystemVerilog-2005, Verilog-2005, Verilog-2001, and Verilog-1995 are all unofficial terms. "SystemVerilog-2005" is used only here in the description of SV 3.1a. "Verilog-1995" and "Verilog-2005" are used nowhere else. "Verilog-2001" is used only in C.3.1, where it says, "Prior to the acceptance of IEEE Std 1364-2001 (Verilog-2001)", and there it can be deleted. The reference to SystemVerilog-2005 here in the description of SV 3.1a can simply be changed to IEEE Std 1800-2005. I think all the references to these 4 terms should be deleted. By the way, in - SystemVerilog 3.1a refers to the Accellera SystemVerilog Language Reference Manual, a pre-cursor to SystemVerilog-2005 [B1] . the reference [Bn] is presumably supposed to refer to SV 3.1a, so it should appear earlier, as follows: - SystemVerilog 3.1a refers to the Accellera SystemVerilog Language Reference Manual [B1], a pre-cursor to IEEE Std 1800-2005. That leaves us with Throughout this standard, the following terms apply: - SystemVerilog refers to the unified Verilog base language (IEEE Std 1364) with the SystemVerilog extensions to Verilog. That is, SystemVerilog is inclusive of both IEEE Std 1364-2005 Verilog and the IEEE Std 1800-2005 extensions to Verilog. - SystemVerilog 3.1a refers to the Accellera SystemVerilog Language Reference Manual [B1], a pre-cursor to IEEE Std 1800-2005. - Verilog refers to IEEE Std 1364-2005 for the Verilog HDL. Another point is that Clause 2 (Normative References) includes references to 1364-2001, 1364-2005, and 1800-2005. Annex R (Bibliography), which is informative, includes references to all these and also to 1364-1995. A reference should not appear in both. Either the reference is normative or informative. I suggest to delete all of these from Annex R, leaving SV 3.1a there, and move 1364-1995 to Clause 2 with the rest.
