CCP Bartender takes everyone back to class to point out why you should be using unsigned 32bit integers with the XML API access mask.

CCP Bartender might wish to sit in the teachers lounge and reflect upon how many popular languages don't have direct support for signed vs unsigned :-)

This would be particularly problematic for people who are for whatever reason stuck using x32 and can't take advantage of 8 byte integers.
