There are 46 occurrences of "rounding mode" in the text and 2 more in the 
index.

There is one more use of "rounding modes" in F.10.1#3 i.e.

 	... all rounding modes and ....

Because the very next sentence in the same paragraph refers to

 	ISO/IEC 60559 rounding direction attributes

by their IEEE 754 name, this too should probably refer to

 	ISO/IEC 60559 rounding direction attributes

What do you think?
