COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

thank you for this document. I have a minor question.

   IEEE 754 binary floating numbers are always signed.  Therefore, for
   the float variants ("f" == 1), there is no need to distinguish
   between signed and unsigned variants; the "s" bit is always zero.
Since IEEE 754 binary floating numbers are always signed, I would have thought
that s=1 would be used in conjunction with f=1. For my understanding, what was
the reason for choosing s=0 instead?

Thank you
