[edit] Redundant
Most of these already exist at List of Formats by Type and List of Formats by Name. Perhaps it should be marked for deletition or made a redirect page to List of Formats by Type. --FordGT90Concept 02:53, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

- P.S. Decimal and text are redundant in themselves because they are merely different ways to express the hex value. I would omit the text especially because it doesn't represent anything meaningful, just gibberish.
