It's a zero-based numbering, so yes, list indices and all reference ids and numbers start with 0 as the first object and 0x00 codes into number 1. But not always.

0x0 is decimal 1

- It's a zero-based numbering, so yes, list indices and all reference ids and numbers start with 0 as the first object and 0x00 codes into number 1. But not always. If it's confusing, how would you reword it to make it more understandable?
