No.

My memory is that we agreed "no hidden bits" when writing that wording.

I do recall that parity bits were discussed and we agreed that they weren't
part of the representation of a value.

Of course, an implementation could do what you suggested provided that
there was a way of disabling it so as to produce a conforming
implementation.
