I thought about that when I was writing it. Both are kind of random
constants that could just as easily be in two enums, but I don't see
much benefit in that.
The reason I left one in hex and on in decimal is that the first
constant is really just a bit pattern, so I think it's clearer in
hex. The second constant really represents the number 256, so I think
it's clearer in decimal.
