I thought all this was going to be taken care of by widgets and "ox_desc"
anyway.  If the user is not comfortable with hex, they can just drag a
"slider" and watch the (hopefully more friendly) feedback given by the
machine's "ox_desc".  As for representations of "small" and "large" in the
tracker matrix, perhaps there could be an option in the GUI to display the
raw hex, the result of "ox_desc", or a mini widgit possibly something like a
progress bar, showing empty for 0 and full for FF or FFFF for "small" or
"large" respectively.
