VNCB, chapter 13 (Conformance), page 229 The possible direct conformance cases involving a Bit_type are the following for any positive integers `N' and `P': 1 BIT` N' conforms directly to `ANY'. 2 BIT` N' conforms directly to BIT` P' for `N' <= `P'. Other than implied by these rules, no type conforms directly to a Bit_type, and a Bit_type conforms directly to no type.
