Your Answer for Question 1:
Instructions and data format were meaningless to computer, because only thing we stored into computer were data.  And we encapsulate some header into a data frame. ,every time,when computer would like to access a data frame, it has to analyze the header first. then computer would know what kind of data is it. Maybe a instruction, maybe a data with specific format.

To make this happen, I think we should have a normal standard that widly use allover the world. Then processor could follow the standard, design to achieve data usage.

Your Answer for Question 2:
subnormal means a series of low level instructions.  Because computer working by a very low level rules, thus we have to understand how a computer exactly work and the design idea. So if we would like to creat some better idea, we have to understand it as well.

Your Answer for Question 3:
maybe they were the same; but if we can express the meaning of this line of code, and it can easily make others to understand the meaning of the instruction.
It is a good idea for software engineering and system maintainability.

Your Answer for Question 4:
If we would like to design a co-processor for some specifically work, then we might use my own way which could achieve the same task more efficiently.
Just like some processor manufacturer, they might follow the International Standard, but also add some tricky function which can improve the efficiency of the processor.

Therefore, to follow a standard is a general idea, but how could we creat some new idea and use into a real world is also very important. But the standard should not be changed all the time !
