[sv-ec] Mantis 1356 rev 16

All,

Please review 1356 rev16 for Monday's meeting. The docx showing rev15->rev16 changes is attached. The following (significant) changes were made since rev14 was approved by the SV-EC...

Rev14->rev15

* Various formatting and typo changes

* Deleted this line "This interface implementation allows classes to support common behaviors without sharing implementations." from the first paragraph (feedback was that it is both confusing and redundant)
Rev15->rev16

* Re-numbered references due to mantis 3001 which inserted 8.8

* Various formatting updates

* Re-worded a lot of the text under Name conflicts and resolution and the sub-sections

* Major changes to the wording in the "Diamond inheritance" section. Re-named it "Diamond problem" since I received feedback to try to remove the last references to "inheritance" w.r.t. interface class implementations.

* Added a paragraph to the end of 8.56.9 to clarify that pre_randomize() and post_randomize() work with interface class handles.

The following feedback items are still open with Shalom:

* Shalom had feedback that it is not clear "whether an implemented non-inherited method needs to be declared virtual. Assuming that to be true, it is probably good to say so explicitly." I replied that is already explicitly stated by the first paragraph on page 3. I haven't received a reply to that yet.

* Shalom is still reviewing the updated text in the "Diamond problem" section.

-Brandon
