[cfp-interest 3661] ISO 60559 6.3 and C2Y F3.3#7

The former says

 	When either an input or result is a NaN, this standard does not
 	interpret the sign of a NaN.

The latter qualifies this with

 	... NaNs whose sign bit is not generally interpreted by
 	ISO/IEC 60559

The former uses "not interpret".

So should "generally" be deleted in C2Y or is generally meant to handle 
those cases where a NaN is neither input nor result?

Thanks - Damian
