For consistency with the other Math functions, the steps should be a bullet list instead of numbering.

No, because Math.imul and Math.roundFloat32 are each defined by an algorithm.
Each of the other Math functions is generally an implementation-dependent approximation to an abstract mathematical function, and the bullet points are merely constraints that the approximation must satisfy.
See the Note in 15.8.2.

I agree with Michael, algorithms are appropriate for these functions.
