Well, having hex as default is a good thing, currently: We
still have plenty of single bytes, that have to be guessed
up. And we can only match them, if we can easily guess them
as int8,int16,int32. Without that, I would not have been
able to find another "setup/answer"-thingy in the protocol.
(not yet commited, still starring at it).

But for a "we know the protocol" decoder, you're right:
decimal normally, denote hex by 0x.

Thanks for your comment.
