FWIW, I've liked your proposals, but I don't feel qualified to comment. I never adjust rounding modes. I do like how I can be ignorant and get code that is better optimized. You've shown deep knowledge of floating point operation in the past, and I'm inclined to accept reasonable-sounding proposals from those that know way more than me.
