I thought I remember reading a long time ago that it had something to do with imputing the numbers in computers, both numbers (0 & 00) together can not be recognized. I could be wrong, hopefully someone will correct us.

Given that we survived Y2K, you would think we could design computers to differentiate between 0 and 00...

If it is software related, it may be because numbers stored as integers (rather that text), assign 00 to be 0. Hence, 0 and 00 both resolve to 0, which normalization won't allow.
