To fit the result in 10 bits (10 binary digits), the input has to fit in ... 10
*bits*, not 10 *nibbles* (that is, 10 hexadecimal digits, which correspond to
40 bits)! Anyway, I don't understand what the limitation of one implementation
is doing in the "implementation neutral" standard.

And it seems that the implemenation in LibreOffice cannot handle 10 bits, only
9: =HEX2BIN("2FF") gives "Err: 502" but =HEX2BIN("1FF") gives "111111111".

This is not my area of expertise, so I'll shut up now.
