Section 5.6.1 says:

   ...for the
   purpose of map key equivalence, NaN values are equivalent if they
   have the same significand after zero-extending both significands at
   the right to 64 bits.

It should say:

   ...for the
   purpose of map key equivalence, NaN values are equivalent if they
   have the same significand after zero-extending both significands at
   the right to 64 bits, and if they both have the same sign bit.

Notes:

This is a mathematical description of equivalence, but implementors
may use whatever means they deem appropriate to detect this equivalence.
