That's why the issue was swept under the rug. From the
"Answer" (actually non-answer):
To specify the results of all the intrinsics for non-normal
values is beyond the scope of an interpretation. This could be
considered for a future revision.
It's not clear what's "non-normal" about IEEE -0.0.
It wasn't on the work list for the 2015 revision, even though the
question is now eleven years old.
