I agree. I can't think of anything though, other than to assume CTA.

The other parsers that already use struct cea_db refer to the data
using the CTA spec (starting at 1). Maybe just go with that?

But yes, as Jani said, the db->data indexing is off by one. Is fixing
that fine for a v2 patch or should I put this aside?
