connector models

Hello,

Maybe someone could help me clear up a point?
I've not been following recent IBIS activity
as closely as I should...

I'm preparing an internal presentation on IBIS, and am
wondering what to say on the topic of connectors and cables.

Are the following statements reasonably truthful?

   - Many attempts have been made to adapt IBIS to
     the creation of connector and cable models. No
     agreed synthax has been found, due mainly to the
     complex nature of coupling.
   - Limited connector and cable models are possible with
     IBIS 3.0, using the expanded package model and the new
     series element.
   - There is no medium-term prospect of a better IBIS synthax
   - Most simulator companies have developed their own
     connector model synthax.

Comments?
John
