I think if the expectation doesn't match the specification, the
expectation is wrong. There's no reason whatsoever to expect SImode
to be anywhere close to 32 bits.
You mean other than about 20 years of history?
With the exception of some DSPs which were always perceived as "oddballs",
everybody "knew" that SImode was 32 bits, more or less.
