I can possibly live with updatinmg the description clause.
Burt the reported proposal for the fix was going to change Integer32 
to Gaug32, or so I understood. That would be really bad I think.

If the SYNTAXes and the value-ranges) all stay the same,
then I guess that formally it would still be a semantic change, but 
it is a matter of wording change that I could probably accept
if the WG really has consensus on this.

  Agreed.

  Agreed.  It's a case of the notation used in the DESCRIPTION clause
  being well-understood within the specialist community, but being
  potentially ambiguous outside of that community.  If the change
  is deemed necessary, it's nothing more than a clarification.
