It seems to me it is necessary to reconsider it: Support for 16 bit computers. No consideration is given in D for mixed near/far pointers and all the machinations necessary to generate good 16 bit code. The D language design assumes at least a 32 bit flat memory space. D will fit smoothly into 64 bit architectures. (http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/overview.html)
