There is a not to subtle difference between supplying models that
accurately represent the part, and supplying models that represent a
conservative model. Supplying a model with a part is an inferred warrantee
that could affect the production yield of a part, so IC Vendors (especially
high volume ones) will be conservative  on their models, often specifying
the models using typ/min/max models from a standard as opposed to actual
accurate models.****

*This is a false choice.  There is no inferred or implied warranty.  A
disclaimer usually is attached to a model.  *

** **

"Do you object that our package solution support both detailed aggressor
information as you support and bounded aggressor information?"****


*Your approach is a subset of mine. With my approach you can created a
bounded model.  It's very simple.  A list of Drivers.  A list of Receivers.
 A List of Receivers available for crosstalk analysis (which is a subset of
the list of receivers), and a method to indicate those drivers and
receivers that are in proximity to the analyzed receiver.  The list of
proximate I/O cells is optional for models encapsulated within a package,
since by definition they are proximate.*
