hi sv-bc,

At Shalom's provocation I've uploaded a proposal for 1134, which 
has been open and unresolved for a considerable time.  From my
perspective, the inability to have localparams declared before 
ports is a serious usability issue and I'd really like to see
this change included in 1800-2008.

The BNF change is not too drastic, I hope.  Is everyone OK with 
the side-effect that a _class's_ parameter_port_list can also 
include localparams?  My own feeling was that this is harmless,
but if it is felt to be undesirable it could easily be fixed
either by adding a new production for class_parameter_port_list
in the BNF, or by a semantic restriction.
