These three terms pop up and I cannot pick the consistency.

Which is which?

I thought that the collective term was rounding modes.

Mind you, IEEE 754 uses another (related but with even more letters) and 
calls all of these by the name "rounding direction attributes":

 	round towards zero
and
 	round towards infinity
and
 	round towards -infinity
and
 	round to nearest ties towards WHATEVER

Thanks - Damian
