Motion P1788/M0009.01_ExactDotProduct: NO
Reluctantly, I vote NO.
I prefer to see the exact dot product as recommended, but not required.
Simplicity. If we are able to craft a standard on which we agree, there is
no guarantee any commercial entity will implement it. The simpler it is,
both in description and in work to implement, the better are the chances
someone will implement it, if only to have another checkmark in front of
standards they support. If the standard to too heavy, vendors can say,
"We'll implement it as soon as our customers demand it." That could be a
long wait.
