I didn't read your whole post carefully.  It looks good, but:

>       type Celsius_T is delta 0.1 digits 5 range -40.0 .. 120.0;

I think you might want:

    for Celsius_T'Small use Celsius_T'Delta;

here.

Also, I think it would be overkill to put both ways of dealing with
invalid results in an example in a book.  I'd suggest just using the
exception method, and ignore the rather complex idea of variant
records.
