Peter,
Agreed... other types such as real don't seem to lend themselves
to handling multiple drivers. Is there a way to create a universal
type that encompasses reg and wire behavior without creating an
anomoly?

I don't see the problem because the only time we would have to
worry about using strengths for the logic type is when there
are multiple drivers. Instead of the user having to switch to
using the net type, the simulator essentially does it automatically.
