Comment (by jdemeyer):

 Why strings? I think it's better to deal with numbers and then convert the
 numbers to strings if needed.

 And this is already implemented in one direction:
 {{{
 sage: K.<a> = GF(2^8)
 sage: (a^3+1).integer_representation()
 9
 sage: hex((a^3+1).integer_representation())
 '0x9'
 }}}
