Re: Draft: P1788.1 Standard for Interval Arithmetic (Simplified)
Oliver (et al),
We'll need to check IEEE rules concerning having the name of
the published standard be different from the name proposed
in the accepted PAR. However, I do see your point, and I
suggest we could tentatively change the name.

I still have to look more deeply into the draft. I would recommend to
not call it “simplified”, because that sounds like the document contains
the same content and scope as IEEE Std 1788-2015 and only the wording
has been simplified. Having a similar name “1788.1” adds to this
confusion.
How about calling it “reduced standard” or “essential standard”? Maybe a
native speaker could recommend a suitable name.
I do not understand the last paragraph: “NOTE—If the following functions
… are implemented as specified in the full IEEE Std 1788-2015 standard,
this standard becomes a flavor of the full standard.”
- Aren't the hexadecimal, rational and uncertain form literals required
in all flavors according to 9.7 of the full standard?
- You could add the reduction operations to the list of “not required”
function.
- Also you would probably want to discard the word “standard” following
the term “IEEE Std 1788-2015”.
