This textual convention is an extension of the PhysicalIndex convention, which defines a greater than zero value used to identify a physical entity. This extension permits the additional value of zero. The semantics of the value zero are object-specific and must, therefore, be defined as part of the description of any object that uses this syntax. Examples of the usage of this extension are situations where none or all physical entities need to be referenced.
