You mean "at least 16 bits", right?

I think that should be "at least as long"... (3.5.4(25): "the range of
Integer should be no wider than that of Long_Integer").  Of course, if
Integer is only 16 bits then Long_Integer must be longer (since
Long_Integer must be at least 32 bits), but if Integer is 32 bits then
it appears OK if Long_Integer is the same size as Integer.
