The floating point package was based on IEEE 754.
One thing that we did not know was that we were publishing IEEE 
1076-2008 IEEE 754-2008 was also being published.

What changed?    16 bit floating point, 128 bit floating point (which it 
happens I already did).   Two new rounding modes, and decimal floating 
point.
