Who should be credited for VLQ and zig-zag encoding?

I have designed a (rather simple) network protocol which relies heavily on VLQ-coded integers and zig-zag coding (as described by the Protobuf). I learned about these techniques on the Internet and they felt quite obvious to me. However, now I want to compose an Internet-Draft describing my protocol, and it seems ridiculous to reference Wikipedia articles in a normative document.

Does somebody know a well-recognized publication, describing VLQ and zig-zag coding? Who is their original inventor?
