In this case I think it does matter (a little :)). If
you represent a number as <#h5678> it's clear that the
#h and 5678 are related.
If you represent it as <#h 5678> the relation between
the two is not as clear-- of course once you read the
spec you figure it out.
It's not a huge deal, but while we're adding a feature
to dtc why not make the syntax as clear as we can?
