Default 6-sided open-ended die

Is this a correct description?

"What is a 6-sided open-ended die? Hmm. Good question! I think it is a die with 6 sides, labeled 0 through 5. It is worth the face value if you roll a 0 through 4, but if you roll a 5, it is worth 5 plus the value of the next roll. Fives can be chained forever, but high rolls become inverse-exponentially rarer."

I've always wondered. People talk about rolling sixes, but if the die was labeled 1,2,3,4,5,6 then it would have discontinuities - you could only roll 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9... note that the six is missing. So I assume it is labeled 0,1,2,3,4,5.
