 * is interpreted as hex encoded binary data for that ID, otherwise the raw
 * string following the prefix is used as identity data, without conversion.
+ * To specify a non-standard ID type, the numerical type may be prefixed
+ * between curly backets, building a prefix. For instance the "{1}:" prefix
