Justin raised this issue. Looking for feedback on which expression to use, "time 0" or "time zero".

Consensus that this is an editorial issue and that the phrase 'time zero' is preferred over 'time 0'. Looking at 53(PDF: 93) indicates that the number 0 is more appropriate. If 'time zero' is chosen then the changes would need to proposed specifically because some text would benefit from remaining 'time 0'. If 'time 0' is chosen, it appears that all 'time zero' references are workable as 'time 0'.

Group agrees that resolution of this requires a proposal to change the text or close it as not material enough to be addressed.
