Decimal-by-default C notation would break compatibility (undetectably, 
in the case of hex constants that don't happen to use digits above 9) 
with current DTS files which are hex-by-default -- and besides, most of 
the values are going to be hex.

I agree that allowing the space to be omitted would be a good thing.
