The following explanatioons are now in F.2.2#3

While this annex does not require the full support for signaling NaNs 
specified in ISO/IEC 60559, it does use the phrase "x is not a signaling 
NaN" to imply that either x is a quiet NaN or -INF <= x <= +INF. For 
brevity, this annex also uses the term NaN, unless explicitly qualified, 
to denote a quiet NaN, and consequently uses the phrase "x is a NaN" to 
imply that x belongs to the set of all quiet NaNs.

... INF is replaced by the symbol infinity.

Thanks - Damian
