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! Nate
