No it will not work correctly. What if something _will_ pass a negative number?
Then instead of having it as -1 you'll have 4294967295.
Can you 100% guarantee that documentation is correct? And that there are no
broken apps that will try to pass negative number?

Wrong. You need to read some c books. But sign uses only 1 bit, not 2 bytes.
