In section 9.4 (PDF page 14), there is around line 20:
calling existing libraries written for binary floating point arithmetic,
Seems it would be more general to say
calling existing libraries written for non-decimal floating point arithmetic,
I am thinking of IBM S/360 Hex FP.
PDF page 38 in Table 2 has:
exact conversion from binary floating type
inexact conversion from binary floating type
Should 'binary' there also be changed to 'non-decimal'
