Ken,
Here is Cadence's position:
We make use of the Format keyword quite a lot and our parser does not ignore it
but uses it. Somewhere in our flow, instead of looking for the various formats
(range, value, corners etc (or any other future format)) our parser just checks
for the word 'Format'. So if it is eliminated, we would have to add it to make
the current flow work - or change our flow.
Ugly as it might be - it is quite useful.
Thanks,
Ambrish.

Hello all,
I sent this out a while back and never got any feedback, so I figured I
would ask one more time. I believe I already know Mentor's and SISoft's
position on this one, but does anybody else have any comments?
Thanks,

Format
Hi Arpad,
Here is the feedback on "Format" which you requested me to send through
email.
If we were completely doing away with Format, that would be one thing. But
the current proposal is to still support that, plus also support NOT having
it there. It doesn't seem like we are really simplifying anything then;
instead we are adding more things that will need to be supported. I think
that is going in the wrong direction, adding more complexity to the spec.
The software coding purists don't like Format, but if it is there already,
and it isn't going to go away, then adding support for Format's ABSENCE is
more trouble than it is worth.
This is just one opinion of course, and I am curious to see if anybody else
agrees. It seems like there are bigger fish to fry than this one.
Thanks,
