> The implementation of float is not explicitly defined in the c99 specification I do not like to be a smartass, but it is defined very explicitly in the C language standard - floating point types match the types defined in IEC 60559, which is equivalent to IEEE 754.

Only if __STDC_IEC_559__ is defined, which implementations are not required to do (in C++, the equivalent is std::numeric_limits<float>::is_iec559).
