I had a look at this patch. This patch adds some text below a table of functions. Immediately above that table, there is this existing language: The functions working with typedouble precision/type data are mostly implemented on top of the host system's C library; accuracy and behavior

Attached is an updated version of the patch. Ok. I notice that you decided against adding tags around function and type names. It's really not about the IEEE changing something, but about someone changing the Wikipedia page. The way I linked it makes sure it always displays the same

attached is a small patch which updates doc/src/sgml/func.sgml. The change explains that functions like round() and others might behave different depending on your operating system (because of rint(3)) and that this is according to an IEEE standard. It also points out that #.5 is not always
