Yes, this is what I mean: they *must not* be encoded, so that the
shortest possible representation results that still allows to
differentiate between positive and negative numbers. This is what
my examples show.

P.S. A couple of years ago I did an analysis of Microsoft's
Kerberos protocol. They encoded certain 32-bit integer variables
constantly as 0x02 0x04 0x.. 0x.. 0x.. 0x.., irrespectively of
the actual value.
