Given my other comment, I also think there would be no harm in just 
having these as:
	
		"ConfigCode" : "0x10005"

if you'd rather make life easier to begin with, then be able to come 
back and improve things later. IMO it doesn't affect the readability of 
the important values *all* that much, since it's not like they're tighly 
packed together in oddly-aligned bitfields.

Thanks,
Robin.
