Does that spec forces you to implement equality test between floating point numbers?

...yes? I'm not sure exactly what you're asking here, though.

I'm asking if it is really a good idea for a language to provide equality/inequality for floating point numbers when it's often mistake to do that.

So disallow the direct operator but allow equality to be deduced indirectly by usage of > < >= <= ?
