Notes
-----
Original report:
The escaped octal number "0" when encoded to hexadecimal should be "88" or 
"\x88", NOT "d2" or "\xd2".

The "d2" or "\xd2" is hexadecimal value for decimal number "210".


WK Edit: I am rejecting this Errata -- the display format (key667="hello0qoo") 
is encoded using the DNS RFC1035 syntax, which specifies:
\DDD            where each D is a digit is the octet corresponding to
                the decimal number described by DDD.

This is, um, surprising to many, and a relatively common source of issues in 
the DNS parsing world. 

I encourage future updates of the RFC to include a "footnote" / parenthetical 
pointing this out...
