That is fine with me.  And, I assume, SNaN is not triggered, hence,
no exception is signaled (matches 5.5.1 of IEEE-754-2008).

Seems like we need words saying this in Part 2.

Since the Intel x87 has non-canonical encodings in binary FP
of NaN and some sub-normals, this would also apply to Part 1.
