Wally,
Exactly. I think that allowing more than 20 uA leakage current when a
signal is above the local Vcc should be permitted and should not harm
signal integrity on the bus. I agree with Kevin's comment about Vcc not
being a SCSI signal, so perhaps what ought to be done is reduce the 4.1 V
parameter to some lower value to accomodate the newer semiconductor
processes. The question is, "How low should we go?"
