That last sentence should

 	What if the proposed IEEE P3109 8-bit float ever permeates into C
 	and C has a _Float8 type?

The type of INFINITY was based on the type of the smallest possible real 
floating type. If that smallest possible changes, does that mean the type 
of INFINITY needs to change? Or, does that cause too much grief.
