Take a clone of the repository, update the text and submit a pull request. That gets reviewed, updates if needed then hopefully accepted and it will be in the next release.
Bit complex the first time if you've not done one but GitHub have great documentation.

Just to add context, `0x10` is absolutely valid as a JavaScript number without the quotes.
The fact is however, the buffer TypedInput requires a JSON array of numbers. JSON does not support `0x10` style encoding of numbers. To use that syntax they have to be provided as strings - hence the need for quotes in the TypedInput

@knolleary ,
I had no idea that my frustration with Inject node syntax would bring out the "big guns".

For me, it is a matter of understanding what the nodes will take and what they won't. When you're in the middle of working on a non-user-friendly printer and trying to send it a simple command, I wanted to send it a basic command easily to test it. Not so simple...
