That was an assumption he made that I didn't understand. I don't think that they'll stick to a true hexadecimal number to represent the version number in the CDR file based only on the assumption that it appear to be a one byte field. If it were truly a hexadecimal numbering scheme, it wouldn't display as an ASCII representation of that value (ie an "A" would actually have a hexadecimal value of 65, decimal, not "10", decimal, as Harvey suggested).
Going to "10h" (2-digits) for sixteen would require two bytes. I doubt they will change (assuming it is currently a single byte field) the file format to accommodate a hexadecimal (2 digit) number scheme. After all, a "G" (ie for version 16) or sequential ASCII decimal number is just as easy to deal with in a programming environment.

Only way to know is to wait a few years.
Lots of programs put out the ASCII letters for the hex number. Look at the registration numbers on the programs, lots of ASCII hex there.
At least the old HPGL put out full float decimal values, a horrid waste of space and computing power though.
