| Fix |
In the third paragraph of section 3.12: REPLACE "Once a name is defined within one of the five name spaces, it shall not" WITH "Once a name is defined within the block, module, port, or specify block name spaces, it shall not" Add the following sentence to the end of that same paragraph: "As described in 2.8, it is legal to redefine names within the attribute name space." (Of course, use a reference for the reference to 2.8 in the above sentence) |
