First off, I am perfectly aware of the "alternate" form, and I don't like it
because it either creates all-caps representation (which I find hard to read,
and I mentioned that), or it creates a "camel-case" representation (all "normal"
digits are "capital" letters, while a-f are not, and I do not like that,
either).

It may be so but it has nothing to do with the output of NT status here.

Also, a little tolerance of how something can be done not exactly the way
you would do it, goes a long way.
