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?


That is exactly what I say. They are not needed and it would be better
to leave them out.


I think we are in "violent agreement", as is the standard.
