Is 
  nextup(DBL_MAX)
allowed to be a "range error"?

Or, do we need to add words along the lines of:
  A range error shall not occur for any argument.

Should we also add:
  The returned value is exact and is independent of
  the current rounding direction mode.

NOTE:  Words about [in]exact and rounding should be 
added for all new math functions.
