Description
Both the CAUTION box at the end of Section 3.2.2 and section 4.1.6 have
sentences which relate to signedness of reg variables while ignoring nets.

Specifically, the CAUTION box says,
"Variables can be assigned negative values, but only signed regs, integer, real,
and realtime variables shall retain the significance of the sign. The unsigned
reg and time variables shall treat the value assigned to them as an unsigned
value".

It should be rewritten as,

"Nets and variables can be assigned negative values, but only integer, real,
realtime and signed reg variables and signed nets shall retain the significance
of the sign. Time and unsigned reg variables and unsigned nets shall treat the
value assigned to them as an unsigned value".

Similarly, 4.1.6 begins,
"A reg data type shall be treated as an unsigned value unless explicitly
declared to be signed. "

It should be

"Net and reg data types shall be treated as unsigned values unless explicitly
declared to be signed. "
