  In 2.1.x, it can handle hex values just fine.

  The default VSA format is an 8 bit "type" field.  0x0700 doesn't fit
within an 8-bit field.

  What is the format for Alcatel-Esam attributes?  Do you have
documentation from Alcatel saying what the format is, or a dictionary
from another vendor describing the format?
