Very good first draft.

A few comments.

PDF page 8, lines 9 and 10: Part 1 and Part 2 need more.  Perhaps: Of
this technical specification.

PDF page 9, line 2:  Add 'of' after 'exchange'.

PDF page 9, lines 4-5:  Missing tables.

PDF page 9, line 17: 'The _Float16 type need not be an interchange
floating type.' should(?) be 'The _Float16 type need not be an
arithmetic floating type.'

PDF page 9, line 23:  Missing table.

PDF page 9, lines 30-31 say real floating is union of generic,
interchange, and extended.  What about decimal types?

PDF page 10, line 5: 'decimal interchange types of with N.' should(?)
be 'decimal interchange types of width N.'.

PDF page 11, line 28:  Need to add xxx_TRUE_MIN macros.

PDF page 12, line 4: Do we need to add words about extended types and
conversions?

PDF page 12, line 36 has 'real floating type or interchange type'.  I
think 'interchange type' is not needed.  PDF page 9, lines 30-31 say
real floating is union of generic, interchange, and extended.

PDF page 13, line7:  What is a 'not interchange floating type'?

PDF page 13, line 29:  'fNN' -> 'fNx'.

PDF page 13, lines 28-30:  Should the 'N' be italic?

PDF page 17, lines 24-27 and 45-48:  cbrt is done twice.

PDF page 19, line 28: Should there be _FloatN and _FloatNx remquo
functions?

PDF page 20, lines 2-4: The nandNN functions look wrong.
