What you call NaI is a bare decoration. So, you're meaning that
a bare decoration should not be convertible to an interval (either
a bare interval or a decorated interval); I think this is fine.

But if you have a decorated interval X where bare(X) is the empty
set, then dec(X) still makes sense. So, why vice-versa?
