Section 7.1.8 says:
Description: Specifies if the Application ID is based on peer-to-peer technology. Possible values are { "yes", "y", 1 }, { "no", "n", 2 }, and { "unassigned", "u", 0 }.
It should say:
Description: Specifies if the Application ID is based on peer-to-peer technology. Possible values are { "yes", "y", 1 }, { "no", "n", 2 }, and { "unassigned", "u", 0 }. Note that 0, 1, and 2 above are integer values; as UTF-8 characters they are U+0000(NUL), U+0001(SOH), and U+0002(STX). WARNING: the overloading of a string value with an integer representation that can take the value 0 requires careful handling on collectors and exporters which use this value to signify the end of a string.
Notes:
Added clarifying text. The difference between a quoted and unquoted
digit (1 vs "1") is extremely subtle and easily missed.
See, for example,
