M0047 : NO

 My vote on Motion 47 is NO.

  I have changed my mind on Motion 45 on the base of the
 last  discussions. In particular,

I agree with Michel Hack  :

"I would vote YES if P1788 included a complete standard for 
Complete Arithmetic, ..."
 
and I agree with Ian McIntosh :

" I support having EDP but not mandatorily implemented via CA ...."
 
IMO the CA as formulated by Motion 45 is too much hardware 
oriented.   Exact Dot Product  should be required  in P1788 but 
not mandatory based on CA. I  think that dot product is as fundamental 
operation as are addition and multiplication.
