Sticky bits after trap

[Fred J. Tydeman]

If the user's program does:
  disable traps
  raise exceptions -- no trap implies flags are set
  enable traps  -- assume no trap happens
  raise exceptions -- now a trap happens
  return from trap handler (which did nothing to flags)
  test flags
Are the flags still set?  Or, are they undefined?

IEEE-754 8.1 Trap Handler:  "Similarly, the flag(s)
corresponding to the exceptions being signaled with their
associated traps enabled may be undefined unless set or
reset by the trap handler."  

IEEE-754 7. Exceptions: "It [status flag] shall be reset
only at the user's request."  

So, there appears to me to be a contradiction in IEEE-754.
What is the intent of the committee?
