> Floating-point math operations assume that all NaNs are quiet.

That could be read as "if you produce a signaling NaN (e.g. via a bitcast) and feed that to a math operation, that violates the assumption, and hence is UB".

I think it'd be better to explicitly say that when a math operation produces a NaN, it non-deterministically picks an arbitrary (quiet or signaling) NaN.
