@jneb: Please could you clarify what sort of addition to the documentation you're proposing? Again, it's not clear what you mean by "backward error" here, or what sort of addition would be useful given the divergence of math function behaviours across platforms. Any documentation addition should cover more than just sin here; sin isn't at all special.

Setting to pending.
