0 cannot be encoded in a Range (Fibonacci) field type

[uladzislau-jum]

It is impossible to encode the SubSections field of the MD, IN, KY, RI sections header using Range (Fibonacci) encoding

According to the specification, the SubSections field in the header is of type Range (Fibonacci). Core subsections must always be first and have an ID of 0

0 cannot be encoded using the Fibonacci representation

What is the appropriate way to handle this?

Thanks.

Could someone please investigate this issue as soon as possible?
We are currently unable to publish the changes related to the new states: Maryland (MD), Indiana (IN), Kentucky (KY), and Rhode Island (RI).
This is critical and needs immediate attention/resolution.

I'm not involved in creating the spec, but fwiw, I took a quick look and that does indeed seem to be an issue.

The Global Privacy Working Group is discussing this issue and will have a solution soon.
