<td class="print-category">Description</td>
<td colspan="5" class="print">the restriction on the arithmetic float
operators are only mentioned in a NOTE, but not in a proper
restriction.<br />
<br />
It is unclear why these restrictions exist in the first place as in
other languages, clear semantics of using the special values as operands
exist:<br />
<br />
Infinity * -Infinity == -Infinity<br />
Infinity * Infinity == Infinity<br />
-Infinity * -Infinity == Infinity<br />
Infinity * positive_number == Infinity<br />
Infinity * 0.0 == NaN<br />
Infinity * negative_number == -Infinity<br />
-Infinity * positive_number == -Infinity<br />
-Infinity * 0.0 == NaN<br />
-Infinity * negative_number == Infinity<br />
X * NaN == NaN<br />
Infinity / (Infinity or NaN or -Infinity) == NaN<br />
Infinity / positive_number == Infinity<br />
Infinity / negative_number == -Infinity<br />
-Infinity / positive_number == -Infinity<br />
-Infinity / negative_number == Infinity<br />
-Infinity / (Infinity or NaN or -Infinity) == NaN<br />
(Infinity or NaN or -Infinity) / Infinity == NaN<br />
(Infinity or NaN or -Infinity) / -Infinity == NaN<br />
NaN / X == NaN<br />
X / NaN == NaN<br />
<br />
Therefore, I think the restriction should be dropped.<br />

- they are data sent in message fields (e.g. signal strength in dB); in
this context special values can also appear<br />
- used as numbers in the TTCN-3 code (behaviour), e.g. timer values and
durations (delays), calculating averages etc. In this context operations
make sense, but using special values make not.<br />

We have to decide which way to go: making the note a mandatory text or
