There are two contradictory statements in Appendix E of the Ada
Language Reference Manual pertaining to remote-types. Which one
takes precedence?

E.2(9) Remote Types. The declaration of the library unit can depend
only on other remote types library units, or [a shared passive or a pure
unit]; the body of the library unit is unrestricted; ...


E.2.2(4) A remote types library unit is a library unit to which
         the pragma Remote_Types applies. The following restrictions
         apply to the declaration of such a library unit:
                 it shall be preelaborable; ...



It cannot have a preelaborable declaration if its body is unrestricted
and can import a non-preelaborable unit.

Which of these two contradictory statements shall rule?
