Hi,

Thank you for the feedback on Mantis 1465.

I would like to emphasize that these questions are valid for the current
LRM as well. 1465 puts order in the subclause in question, corrects an
error, and fills in the holes in the specification for regular net and
variable port declarations. Any remaining holes are in the existing LRM
as well.

I agree that even after 1465, the subclause does not take into account
interface or modport ports. That occurred to me as well and I added a
bug note about it to Mantis 2273, which is sort of a parent to 1465.
Interface ports do not have port kinds or data types either, at least
not the same types as net and variable ports.

If you had a null port at the beginning, I guess the current rules would
define it as a non-ANSI style port list, and then the rest of the
subclause would not be applicable.

Regards,
Shalom
