Change 6.3.1.5#1:
"When a value of real floating type is converted to a real floating
type,..."
to:
"When a value of real floating type is converted to a generic
floating type,..."
Make the last sentence:
"Results of some implicit conversions may be represented in greater
range and precision than that required by the new type (see 6.3.1.8
and 6.8.6.4)."
into its own paragraph.
Add after 6.3.1.5#1.
[2] When a value of real floating type is converted to a decimal
floating type, if the value being converted cannot be represented
exactly, the result is correctly rounded with exceptions raised as
specified in IEC 60559, otherwise, it is unchanged.
