Ulrich,

I quote from your motion:

Instead, a future interval arithmetic standard should
require that EVERY FUTURE PROCESSOR shall provide the
16 operations listed above as distinct instructions.

(emphasis yours in bold).

Dan,

You are quoting version 1 of the motion from 4/15/2011.

We are voting on the friendly amedment made by Prof. Kulisch on 4/29/2011 which changed that passage to:

"The operations with the directed roundings should be implemented directly in hardware for efficiency reasons."

There were also a few other changes based on comments made earlier by Prof. Fahmy and others.

I hope people are basing their votes on the right motion!
