Ok, if you describe the rules here on the list, I'd volunteer to infuse
it at an appropriate place in the wiki.

Well documented examples would take me a long way.

Some people like consider any not connected pin an error, others would
only expect a warning. Some might find not connected pins completely
acceptable and consequently find errors and warnings annoying. Digital
enthusiasts may add special pin types for different signal levels.
Analog designers might find it perfectly acceptable to connect pwr to
in pins.

How about an attribute to the connecting net to silence drc2 at this
specific place?

I meant, specific instances within the circuit. Sometimes I
deliberately connect power nets to input pins. There should
be a way to tell drc2 that this it should not complain in
this special instance. But it should still alert me about
power-input violations everywhere else.

I'll put them to a test on friday. (No much free cycles until then)
