LI in particular is a CPLEX extension AFAIK.  The CPLEX dialect is fairly 
well documented in the CPLEX online manuals.

LI indicates that the indicated variable is integer and that the indicated 
(integer) value is its lower bound.

Integers with no upper bound can be indicated by specifying LI with value 
0 and omitting the UI record.  It seems reasonable to presume that 
omitting LI results in a lower bound of 0 by default.
