Looks good to me.

At the Feb CFP meeting, Rajan noted that the proposed 6.2.5 [10a] in Part 
3 needs work to clarify what is required and what is optional. The 
following rewrite is intended to do that. Please review.

[10a] IEC 60559 specifies interchange formats, identified by their width, 
which can be used for the exchange of floating-point data between 
implementations. Tables 1 and 2 give parameters for the IEC 60559 
interchange formats.
Table 1 goes here
Table 2 goes here
Types designated

_FloatN, where N is 16, 32, 64, or ≥ 128 and a multiple of 32
_DecimalN, where N ≥ 32 and a multiple of 32
support the corresponding IEC 60559 interchange formats and are 
collectively called the data-interchange types. Each data-interchange type 
has the IEC 60559 interchange format corresponding to its width and radix. 
Data-interchange types that are supported by all applicable floating-point 
operations are collectively called the interchange floating types. An 
implementation that defines __STDC_IEC_60559_BFP__ shall provide _Float32 
and _Float64 as interchange floating types equivalent to float and double, 
shall provide _Float16 as a data-interchange type, and may provide 
_Float16 as an interchange floating type. If the implementation’s long 
double type has an IEC 60559 interchange format of width N, then the 
implementation shall provide the type _FloatN as an interchange floating 
type. An implementation may provide any of the other data-interchange 
types and may provide any of them as interchange floating types.
