@federicomena @wingo @vivia denormals and signed zeros seem useful by improving results for small values, but the whole NaN mess reads like the committee conflated 'uninitialized value' and 'undefined result' into a single representation.
This really pokes through with with the C fmin/fmax functions. I certainly didn't expect fmin(0,NaN) to return 0.
