Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Updated: (OFFICE-2603) Add (non-normative ?)reference to IEEE 754 and 854
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2603?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Robert Weir updated OFFICE-2603:
---------------------------------
Summary: Add (non-normative ?) reference to IEEE 754 and 854 (was: NEEDS-DISCUSSION Add (non-normative ?) reference to IEEE 754 and 854)
Proposal:
In section 3.6, remove the second paragraph, "In practice, applications tend....results for a large number of places."
In section 4.3.1, remove the first note, "Note: Many evaluators...more than 64 bits)."
was:
Add the following two informative references:
[IEEE 754] 754-1985 IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic, IEEE (1985)
[IEEE 854] 854-1987 Standard for Radix-Independent Floating-Point Arithmetic, IEEE (1987)
[Rob's note: these standards are better known by their numbers rather than their titles, so that is why I'm suggesting the short names as above]
In section 3.6, change:
"In practice, applications tend to use at least one IEEE 754-1985 binary floating-point"
to
"In practice, applications tend to use at least one [IEEE 754] binary floating-point"
and change:
"When IEEE 754 representations are used"
to
"When [IEEE 754] representations are used"
and change:
"Applications may use IEEE 854-1987"
to
"Applications may use [IEEE 854]"
Finally, in section 4.3.1, change:
"Many evaluators implement numbers as 64-bit IEEE floating point values"
to
"Many evaluators implement numbers as 64-bit [IEEE 754] floating point values"
For reference, this was the old proposal:
------------------------------------
Add the following two informative references:
[IEEE 754] 754-1985 IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic, IEEE (1985)
[IEEE 854] 854-1987 Standard for Radix-Independent Floating-Point Arithmetic, IEEE (1987)
[Rob's note: these standards are better known by their numbers rather than their titles, so that is why I'm suggesting the short names as above]
In section 3.6, change:
"In practice, applications tend to use at least one IEEE 754-1985 binary floating-point"
to
"In practice, applications tend to use at least one [IEEE 754] binary floating-point"
and change:
"When IEEE 754 representations are used"
to
"When [IEEE 754] representations are used"
and change:
"Applications may use IEEE 854-1987"
to
"Applications may use [IEEE 854]"
Finally, in section 4.3.1, change:
"Many evaluators implement numbers as 64-bit IEEE floating point values"
to
"Many evaluators implement numbers as 64-bit [IEEE 754] floating point values"
