So is last rect, -224. According to spec, tight has 7, -1 - -222,
-224 - -238 and -240 - -256. I believe it once had the entire
-1 - -256 range but that some encodings where moved into the
official spec.

If you mean that the tight project may change the meaning of the
-224 encoding, I guess you are right. But in that case they may
also change encoding 7. But I for one don't think they are going
to break backwards compatibility. At least not on purpose.
