Are 16 bit images with colormap "standards" ? (note that in TIFF > spec. RGB images should be only 8bits I believe (page 24)). Yes, but that's inside part 1 'baseline TIFF'. I believe the specification doesn't impose any rigid bitdepth limit, even if only some common bitdepths are to be considered 'baseline'.
