50g - Exponent of zero
I just realized the XPON of zero returns "Infinite result".

What would be the mathematical justification for this? I would expect either 0 by convention (since after all a normalized 0 is stored with 0 for exponent), or perhaps "Undefined", since 0*10^N is true for all N (not just for N=Infinity).
It seems to me returning 0 is perhaps more reasonable?
