You should be doing it on trunk if you are planning to commit to gerrit as this is new functionality.

Both these format should probably be treated as BASE_HEX, I can't think of a case where something expressed in "units" 
would need a HEX representation.

I would think the prime usage for BASE_HEX, BASE_DEC_HEX and  BASE_HEX_DEC is when a standard document expresses IEs or 
Messages in HEX to ease comparison with the standard document.
