Hmm. I didn't necessarily want to  given all the details of the IEEE 754 total 
order here, only note that it differs from the total order used in the Java SE 
API. For example, the entirety of the Java specifications avoid mentioning or 
explaining the differences between quiet and signaling NaNs and I'd prefer not 
to get into that here.

I think adding a blanket statement "see the IEEE 754 standard for full detail 
on their total order" would satisfy any lingering uncertainty here. What do you 
think?
