In contrast to the simplicity of arithmetics in IR and IF, IEEE P1788
develops interval arithmetic on the base of IEEE 754 arithmetic with all
its exceptions.
Does it? How do you come to this conclusion? The 754 data type
is featured as an option, but where do you see IEEE 754 exceptions
are used?
This is a big mistake. It unnecessarily pulls all the
IEEE 754 exceptions into interval arithmetic.
Please say where in the document 754 exceptions are used, rather than
just the data type. How are the 754 exceptions interwoven into
the 1788 exceptions, namely, decorations. Howe does it "pull all of the
754 exceptions into interval arithmetic" ???

By the way, IEEE 754-2008 will expire in 4 years unless a revision
PAR is submitted. I am presently looking for people to lead the
effort to submit a PAR, revies 754-2008, and possibly revise it.
