[net.misc] PAL and tri-state gate outputs

(does net.digital exist?  we don't have it locally...)

Anyway, does anyone know if tri-state outputs on PALs are guaranteed
not to glitch entering/leaving tri-state?  Here is what I need: the
function is driven high, then tri-stated.  All during the time it
is tri-stated, the function remains high.  It then goes out of tri-state
before the function is driven low.  Finally, after it is out of
tri-state the function is driven low.  At each of the transitions
into and out of tri-state, it is very important that the output not
glitch low!  Of course, the output will be provided with some kind
of tie-up resistor.  What I need is some kind of confirmation that
PAL outputs (or any tri-state gate outputs, for that matter) don't
do funny things going into and out of tri-state.
