Fine, but this is a paper written about GNAT.  The only reference you
should care about wrt representation of tagged types is the Ada
Reference Manual.  

(You won't find anything in there, by the way, because the RM mandates
no particular representation.  Therefore, you can't assume one, and
you're just going to have to solve your problem some other way.)
