Re: Empty interval representations (general)
That's an interesting stance since, I think (correct me if
I am wrong), that, except for "big-endian" and "small-endian",
754 does specify formats. Of course, an argument for
not specifying is: "it does not matter what's inside
if what is actually seen is as specified."

I still partly think P1788 only needs to specify bit-encodings for

This remains my default position and I don't feel Dan or anyone else has made a convincing case for doing otherwise.
