It would do no harm, and would help people who are not familiar with the
minutiae of IEEE 754.

Er, why?  That doesn't make sense.  The meaning of IEEE_OTHER is that
something other than the defined directions is in effect, so it should
be processor dependent.

Now, THAT should be ConvertToIntegerTiesToEven.
