There's no discontinuity at 0. It's a limit point that is unreachable, as far as we know. That's why 1/T is a better measure. It makes it obvious that +0k is the unreachable limit of "adding a quantum of energy results in an infinite increase in entropy". (-0k is the unreachable limit of "adding a quantum of energy results in an infinite decrease in entropy".)
