P.S.: These details are more or less known since 1980. But obviously
they are not wide spread. I discussed this matter already with
IEEE754R. At the end they said they don't have the necessary
knowledge to make a clear decision. A few month after the first
edition of my book was published in 2008 IEEE 1788 was founded. Now
it seems that we end with the same situation.
Repeatedly pointing out the hardware aspects makes me wonder if the
argument
for EDP being essential for interval computation other than EDP of
intervals is simply
unsupported.
