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
