Well, they are actually signed, so I'm confused why you think we should change the documentation to unsigned.
Interesting... I'm not 100% sure, but I recently received a report that the WAL coordinates in XLogData (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/protocol-replication.html) are unsigned longs, is that a mistake? Are you saying all values in the protocol are always signed?
