The only purpose of RLP is to encode structure; encoding specific atomic data types (eg. strings, ints, floats) is left up to higher-order protocols; in Ethereum integers must be represented in big endian binary form with no leading zeroes -(thus making the integer value zero be equivalent to the empty byte +(thus making the integer value zero equivalent to the empty byte array).
