It seems that there is a need for a hex datatype in Schema datatypes. In a situation where you have a high volume conversion of numeric values, the performance benefit from the simplier conversion could be significant. It is possible that you could add a hex datatype as a user generated datatype, but I would assume that generic RegExp code would not be as efficient as a built in validator and a type-aware parser would not recognize that the derived class could be converted to a numeric type. I would suggest a lexical pattern of Ox[0..F]*
