This does not in any way constrain flavours from extending those
domains in a flavour-specific manner for *non-common evaluations*.
It sure does if my universal set of intervals includes the elements of
the one-point compactification of the reals, R \cup \infty because 1/0 =
\infty.


Would the one-point compactification actually be used in some
current application?  If so what?  (I've seen the one-point
compactification more commonly used in conjunction with the
complex numbers.)  Are you looking at partial fractions?
