Lee, Michel,

FYI: You guys might find Siegfried's recent paper on this topic
interesting. If you haven't done so already, I recommend reading it. His
idea is very interesting.


Yes, I'll look it up.

P.S. He made the post Dec. 5, 2011. If you go to the P1788 archives you
can find the e-mail and download the PDF.

Exemplar: Given M = F.max for some 754 format F, then given lo=0.8*M
and hi=0.9*M the interval I_one=[lo hi] is a valid value. But the
interval I_two = 2 * I_one is not a valid interchange value.

No problem:
I_two would simply be [F.max, +Inf] -- overflow has to observe
containment.


Exactly my thought
