I have a question about Section 10.4.6 of X.691
From the spec:
10.4.6 A minimum octed 2's-complement-binary-integer encoding of the
whole number has a field-width that is a multiple of eight bits and
also satisfies the condition that the leading nine bits of the field
shall not all be zero and shall not all be ones.
Does 'leading nine bits' suggest that the minimum number of octets is 2?
How would, for example, -1 or 0 be encoded if all of the bits can not
be 1 and can not all be 0?
What am I missing?
Thanks,
-Adam Bozanich
