I don't think a standard should impose limits that might become more
restrictive than one could eventually want. The standard should rule
in terms of syntax and its semantics, not in terms of implementation
concerns.
If compatibility with the design of current implementations is an
issue, the standard could rather suggest guidelines for the
conversion of values that a specific implementation might consider
out of bounds, so that developers might adequate their code if they
wish to do so.
