So should I just go ahead and make a pull request for the change then?

It seems like generally agreed it's an issue, it ought to be fixed, and
this doesn't seriously change anything about the way its done; simply
clarifying it and making it more consistent for more platforms.

I can confirm (using the erl command line) that with the change the md5
sums would match between an OTP 15 series, 17 series, and the java library
I have for the piDoc I posted (3.14159) where they didn't before.

I also suspect every language in question will have a way to create IEEE
64-bit floats (some obviously more easily than others, but the point is
they can).

I'm all for it!  And I'm up for it but at least with this step we have a
solid base to work from.
