Also, Inf-Inf would not occur if infinity is not
a number, but the Cset interpretations would lead to

Inf-Inf = [-Inf,Inf] if infinity is a number, so

[0,Inf] - [0,Inf] = [-Inf,Inf]

if infinity is a number, and

[0,Inf) - [0,Inf) = [0,Inf)


I think you meant

   [0,Inf) - [0,Inf) = (-Inf,Inf)


if infinity is not a number.
