The recent http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2013/n3626.pdf proposal wanted to define convenience typedefs iff the implementation provides IEEE floating point types, but I don't think it got much support. As Jason says, there is no requirement for C++ floating-point types to be IEEE, so those typedefs would not have been required anyway.
