Does this mean that in float bitdepths a pixel in a layer could have
negative RGBA values? 
That could break compositing badly if those values are not clipped (and
clipping those out-of-bound values would destroy the original gamut,
defeating the purpose of the unbounded colorspace transform).

Maybe I'm getting it wrong, could you please clarify that?
