I buy the 1st part, but not the 2nd: it's the representation of a NaN
that has a payload (i.e. the FPD); this can be encoded in three
different
ways (one binary, two decimal).
It depends on what you mean. If you are saying that the draft as it
currently reads
includes NaN payloads in the representation, the I think you are
mistaken:
The representation includes two nans: sNaN and qNaN.
If you are talking about how we should have done things,
are in agreement. But I think it is a little late in the game to
fight that fight again.
