<br>
Add details for two functions seems like less work that removing details<br>
for many functions.<br>
<br>
Having the details in Annex F makes it easier for those reading the<br>
C standard than having to also read IEEE-754 (which, I assume, many C <br>
implementors do not have). Also, the reader needs to go from the<br>
C name (via our mapping table) to the IEEE-754 name. IEEE-754 has<br>
some required and some recommended operations, so things in IEEE-754<br>
are not all in one place.<br>
