I don't read that as the correct interpretation. Infinite is not adjacent to
anything. Adjacency can only be seen between two finite numbers.

In particular, I read the wording specifically for this case: out of range. If
the number is bigger than the largest representable *finite* value or the
smallest one, then it's UB.
