BSD compatibility. Its also 1 off the sequence number specified in the spec
because BSD kind of overruled the internet into their behaviour on this one

Actually truth is nobody every really figured out a real use for urgent
data or clarified the semantics. Linux and everything else I know its
one byte of date 1 byte off from the notional spec
