However I'm rather worried that there are no reference implementations
yet, and when one becomes ready, there will not be much time to test
it. So, this increases the risk to have a bad standard.
I pointed out several times that IMHO there is a severe problem with
infinity in the proposed standard. Then I wrote a paper solving this,
offering other advantages as well:
S.M. Rump. Interval Arithmetic Over Finitely Many Endpoints. BIT
Numerical Mathematics, 52(4):1059–1075, 2012.
The only comment I heard from the stds-1788 mail group was that there is
no reference implementation. What a strange logic.
