Yes. Please do publish the document somewhere. It would be interesting
to know exactly what is being said to be inconsistent. As far as I
know the issue of the file index defaulting to one and not having a
way to refer to index zero from an DIE attribute is
inconvenient/inefficient (because you often end up duplicating the
zero file entry), but not inconsistent. It is consistent with how
DWARF4 line table file numbers are interpreted and I believe that is
also how consumers do it.

Thanks,

Mark
