+    <!-- Reserve ranges of bits in the memory operands bitfield.
+
+         Each vendor determines the use of values in their own ranges.
+         Vendors are not required to disclose those uses.  If the use of a
+         value is included in an extension that is adopted by a Khronos
+         extension or specification, then that value's use may be permanently
+         fixed as if originally reserved in a Khronos range.
+
+         The SPIR Working Group strongly recommends:
+         - Each value is used for only one purpose.
+         - All values in a range should be used before allocating a new range.
