To be fair, 0xDEADBEEF may be considered offensive to hindus.

I had a coworker once lament the use of 0xDEADBEEF because he was a vegetarian.

I'm bothered by what lowest common non-offensive denominator we will eventually have to reach. Is 0xCAFEBABE not only offensive to women but is it also offensive to male Starbucks employees?

I don't have the answers. I don't even think I know what the questions are. I just weep for society as a whole over stuff like this.

Use both 0xCAFED00D and 0xCAFEBABE at the same time might alleviate some of those concerns.

And let's not forget Java's 0xCAFEBABE or any of the others: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexspeak
