It seems that the definition of "floating types" is incorrect.

6.2.5p15 says: "The real floating and complex types are collectively
called the /floating types/."

If I understand correctly, as said like that with italics, there
cannot be other floating types. But 7.12p3 introduces float_t and
double_t as floating types. Ditto for H.2.1 and _FloatN, assuming
that "interchange floating types" are expected to be floating types.
