I'm just saying that if we use base 10 in one spot, base 16 in another, base 12 and 8 in a few more, and then represent some things in base 1, people are going to be confused about how to implement things, even if it's spelled out in the spec. There's no good reason to represent this number any differently than any of the other numbers in the spec.
