FF, Opera and Chrome handle them fine, and that might be perceived as "better".
Better than the spec -if you want- but better, after all. Now, what's the best
browser ? Not Safari when it comes to hex string conversion to number... IMO,
in this case better is better than the spec. Safari is doing it to/in-spec, but
worse.
