The value of Base MUST NOT be negative. Though the protocol might operate
correctly with a negative base using post-base indexing, it is unnecessary and
inefficient. An endpoint MUST treat a field block with an S bit of 1 as invalid
if the value of Required Insert Count is less than or equal to the value of
Delta Base.

An encoder that produces table updates before encoding a field section might set
Base to the value of Required Insert Count. In such a case, both the sign bit

any value for the Base; setting Delta Base to zero is one of the most efficient
encodings.

For example, with a Required Insert Count of 9, a decoder receives an S bit of 1
and a Delta Base of 2. This sets the Base to 6 and enables post-base indexing
for three entries. In this example, a relative index of 1 refers to the fifth
entry that was added to the table; a post-base index of 1 refers to the eighth
entry.
