Note that there is a difference between a zero value and a NULL value. A zero
value is part of the set of integer numbers, while NULL is a symbolic value
meaning that there is no (integer) value. Since variables cannot hold a
valid/invalid state, usually the zero is used to indicate NULL.
In reference to the RFC, zero is used to indicate 'no value', hence NULL is
appropriate.
