Thanks for the quick replies (and the cool link!). I thought this might 
be a hold over from the "good old days". ;)

I wonder if there is any impetus to move beyond this, since I see that 
sticking to the IEEE might cause other problems as well. (Warning, 
grumpy blog ahead)

On the other hand, the effort of re-doing the whole math framework might 
not be worth the return...
