JSON Video bitrate, required?

For the 'bitrate' field, The JSON feed spec states:


The bitrate in kbps. For non-adaptive streams, this must be provided. It is not needed for an ABR (e.g., HLS) stream.


However, I've noticed that the developer portal will accept a json feed file that specifies 0 (zero) as the bitrate for an MP4 video.  What effect, if any, will that have on the video playback?  Or, any other aspect of the video?
FREE Windows desktop software for converting Direct Publisher channels to SceneGraph (SDK), for creating BIF (Trick Play) files, Roku (MRSS, JSON) feed files, and FireTV feed files @ GitHub/rrirower.
