If the OmniMark program provides zero characters of text for a #charset public identifier, or only white space and SGML comments, all characters in the base character set are made out to be non-significant data characters. This is often appropriate for most character sets, except those that define letters, digits, and special characters. Many applications provide the definition for the "ISO 646 (IRV)" character set when requested to do so and provide a zero-length definition for all other character set requests.
As an alternative to providing base character set information, an OmniMark program can be designed to allow the user to provide files or other text containing the definitions of base character sets. This is especially useful when additional letters must be defined (for example, when using the ISO "Added Latin" character sets).
