I would even say that any mentioning of IEEE 754 and its exceptions in IEEE 1788 is a possible source of confusion. If such mentionings like +0, -0, NaN, IEEE 754 type, IEEE conformant type, and other hints to IEEE 754 would be eliminated in the text of IEEE 1788 I would fully agree with it.
But as I asked: cite me one specific sentence in 1788 that is "built on" 754, then we can discuss.
