Subscripts are usually used as a counter or an index. For example, Xn (where n is a subscript - this pathetic browser does not support subscripts) usually refers to the nth (it does not support superscripts either!) X in a sequence of Xs. Since they are counters they should belong to the set of counting numbers.
