FWIW, we consistently use hex notation in our switch products in the format '0x10/16' which specifies both the LMC and the LID in a compact manner. Since both GIDs, GUIDs and MACs are printed in hex, choosing decimal for lid seems like an inconsistent choice to me. It also makes it harder to read out the LMC bits. Also, this same kind of unification is needed for GID's. They should always be printed and accepted in IPv6 format, not 128 bit decimal.
