In the "Test functions from numpy.testing" section of the Code and Documentation Style Guide the following quote can be found:

It is recommended to use one of assert_allclose,
assert_array_almost_equal_nulp or assert_array_max_ulp
instead of this function for more consistent floating point
comparisons.

For supporting the array API standard, wouldn't it preferable to recommend xp_assert_close and friends?
