This looks like the right approach to me.
Note that RNDNE is in fact the default rounding mode for IEEE_754-2008
(in fact it was the default for earlier ieee-754 too).
So I see no reason to deviate from that unless there would be some very
good reason, even if it may look "wrong" for humans.

But note that rounding to nearest even is a slightly better convention
in terms of rounding bias. I.e., not using RNDNE is both likely to be

I feel it would cause more "wrong" results, with two numbers resolving to the
same (3.5 = 4.5 = 4).
Of course for best rounding one could

Why not use RNDNE?
