Hi Shalini!
While testing the patches, the above description caused some headache for
me, but I think it's simply typo here: This is not a hexadecimal byte, it's
just a nibble / 4-bit digit for this <a>, right? Could you please fix the
description in the next version of the patch series, please?
Thanks,
Thomas
