No, if we take the text you quoted as a mandate, it's pretty clear that
(/ 0 3.5) should evaluate to 0.0, so I withdraw that part of my comment. 
I believe that the mandate itself and other aspects of R5.92RS arithmetic
are inappropriate for IEEE floating-point arithmetic, but I don't want to
reopen that discussion.

We should probably replace the phrase "One general exception" in the text
you quoted with "The only exception", if we truly want to view the text as
a mandate rather than a guideline.
