I've read the standard about "minvalue", "maxvalue" and "start".
OK, I was wrong. Since "start" should be equal to "minvalue" unless
defined explicitly, the only bug left from my first email here is
resetting "minvalue" back to 1 when data type changes and if the value
matches the bound of the old type (the last case there).
P.S.: the same thing with "maxvalue" when "increment" is negative.
