Section 7.7.9.1 - Initial Blocks - Illegal??

Hi, All -

Reviewing draft D2.1, I came across the statement in section 7.7.9.1 that
"The initial statement shall be supported only for ROM modeling as
described in 5.6.2. It shall be ignored in all other contexts."

I thought we made initial block illegal except for ROM usage. Ignored
initial blocks are exceptionally dangerous since this can cause a mismatch
between pre-synthesis and post-synthesis simulations.

Comments?

Regards - Cliff
