[ Tobias, your burnus@net-b.de account just bounced with "mailbox full"! ]

Here are some suggestions on top of the existing text.

Remove a comma and break a long sentence in the SIMD section.
Use "least significant" instead of "last significant" when
refering to rounding and simplify a sentence in the Fortran
section.

I have not committed this yet since the sentence on rounding
really feels rather weird.  Should there be something like
"whereas compatible would round..." (as opposed to "rounds")?

No feedback, so I now went ahead and applied this.

Tobias, if you have any suggestions, please advise.

Gerald
