Of course it's not going to happen. It's the chaos it could cause by  
trying to happen that worries us ;-)

Take that one up with Al. I'm really not sure what he wants. I try to  
understand, but he's constantly pushing Verilog as the chicken soup  
that will make everything wonderful. I don't see how, and he can't  
seem to make it clear.

What do you mean by internal language? We have two: sch/sym as data,  
scheme as program. And maybe we want more:

1. A database for heavy symbol attributes.
2. A BOM language to bind attributes to schematic symbols.

The interesting idea so far in this discussion has been to let the  
BOM be source rather than product.
