How are these constraint flags meant to be used?

Regarding weight type __s8 - isn't too small just a bit?

ITU-T Rec. H264 (05/2003) says that this field has value between -128 to 127 if 
weight flag is set. That fits perfectly. However, when weight flag is 0, default 
value is 2^luma_log2_weight_denom (for example). luma_log2_weight_denom can 
have values between 0 and 7, which means that weight will have values from 1 
to 128. That is just slightly over the max value for __s8.

__s8 is fine for offsets, though.

Best regards,
Jernej
