Hello,
While informative, I think some kind of official link to the IEEE 754
document is more appropriate in this context.

Please review the addition of @-see links from classes that mention
the IEEE 754 floating-point standard to an IEEE page about the
standard. The URL in the initial version of the PR is the top search
result on the IEEE home page for "754 standard".
Another candidate page to use is
https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/servlet/opac?punumber=8766227
which is (apparently) a stable citation page for the standard.
These links may be upgraded to the the forthcoming @-spec facility
in the future. ( JDK-6251738).
What about the DOI URL? Probably even more stable.

Maybe informal links to the resources made available via the web by
the IEEE 754 editor, Mike F. Cowlishaw, could be helpful:
- <http://speleotrove.com/decimal/>
- Previous standard: <https://www.iso.org/standard/57469.html> with
<http://speleotrove.com/misc/IEEE754-errata.html>
- Current standard: <https://www.iso.org/standard/80985.html> with
