Given that IEEE is actually a standards body and they have many standards, wouldn't it be more appropriate to call this library ieee754?
If it seems important to people, I'd be happy to change the name. I'm not religious about these things. Will it clutter up hackage, though?
I reckon it's worth making it obvious that this library does 754 and not, say, 1394 or 802.11 ;-) On the other hand if you intend on expanding the package to implement every IEEE standard ... (j/k) Anyway, good work. Does this have any overlap with data-binary-ieee754? There was some recent discussion here about the encoding speed in that package. Conrad.
