names for numbers

["Ferguson, Warren E" <warren.e.ferguson@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, I forgot to use plain text format for the message.

Based on our discussions at the last style review, it seems that
floating-point numbers should be partitioned along 2 dimensions.  It
must have been Dan's subconscious causing him (correctly) to use "finite
nonzero" in a few places.

Floating-point Data:

         Floating-point Numbers:
  
                                  FINITE                     INFINITE 
   
                  ZERO         a.k.a. zero               no such
beasties
                               there are 2 such: 
                               +0 and -0
  
                 NONZERO       a.k.a. finite nonzero     a.k.a. infinity
                                                         there are 2
such: 
                                                         +inf and -inf

         Floating-point Not-A-Numbers:

                  Quiet NaNs              Signaling NaNs


Would it be appropriate to put such tables near Table 1 in Section 5?
