> In the review of TS18661 Part 2 in Delft, Willem raised the concern that changes from Parts 1 and 2 might make Annex F a mess. We had intended to return to the issue when we talked about Part 3, but neglected to do so.
> 
> In fact, the changes Parts 2 and 3 make to Annex F are rather small and do not, I think, significantly complicate it. 
> 
> Part 2 adds qualifications about the binding for decimal floating-point after the binding table in F.3#9. It also adds some advice in F.9.2 about optimizing decimal floating-point. It also adds interfaces for the total order and payload functions that support the types added in Part 2. (The interfaces are in Annex F instead of the clause 7 because the functions are only for IEC 60559 implementations.)
