This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
In Section 6.2.4, op:numeric-divide, we read "Division by negative zero returns -INF ..." and we also read "Zero divided by zero ... returns NaN." There is a potential for confusion about which rule applies in certain cases. Proposal: replace the last sentence in the Note in this section as follows: "Positive or negative zero divided by positive or negative zero returns NaN. Also, INF or -INF divided by INF or -INF returns NaN." (This clarification is consistent with IEEE 754, which is normative. The Note at the end of Section 6.2.4 is simply provided for the convenience of the reader.)
Closing bug because commenter has not objected to the resolution posted and more than two weeks have passed.
