In discussion of the dfdl:hexBinary function, it says literals are given 
the smallest signed type that will hold them.

This example is therefore incorrect:

• dfdl:hexBinary(208) is the hexBinary value "D0". EXB

Should be value 00D0 since 208 is beyond the range of a signed byte, so 
must be a signed short.
