Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Why remove decimal examples

Jerome at MediaArea caught an error in my mDCv chunk.

The PNG spec specifies big endian byte order:
https://www.w3.org/TR/png-3/#7Integers-and-byte-order


Should we update the text in Section 7.1 to specifically point out that “Network Byte Order” is Big Endian (Issue #395)?

I believe we previously talked about listing chunk names in decimal vs hexadecimal. I'm not sure we considered listing both.
I feel like we should be consistent between chunk names and example values.

Hi All,

I see that decimal examples in cICP are being removed. Leaving the decimal examples as well as hex makes it much easier to cross-reference with H.273 index values (the origin).

Can we add the decimal values back?

Best,
Chris
