 A discrete section is encoded according to that specific section’s needs. This means today’s implementations that read and adapt to TCF v2.0 signals or US Privacy signals don't need to change their logic for a given discrete section of the string, as long as the implementation is aware of where the discrete section is.

 New sections should follow the guidelines below. Guidelines like these help developers quickly adopt new sections and allow for parsing new sections without the need to reinvent new data types.
