Isn't B8ZS where AMI violations are put in when it senses 8 zeros.  The
receiver then notices this and puts the zeros back to the channel unit.

The violations were: 0++00--0 and 0--00++0 depending upon the previous bit
signalled.

This eliminated the need to force a bit on if all 8 bits of the channel
were zero.

Then again I could be wrong, and this is another format that people use. 
Its been a long time since I read the book.
(*SIGH*)...
