[Fwd: Tail for character set list element]

[Lofton Henderson <lofton@rockynet.com>]

Forwarded, here is a technical question about CGM.  I'm sending it to the 
CGMO TC list, which is apparently active now (except for some Ulrich & 
Forrest not being able to get on it yet).

Please reply directly to Jeff, and copy the CGMO TC list if you don't mind...

>Hello group,

>I was referencing section CHARACTER SETS INTENDED TO BE DESIGNATED AS 
>COMPLETE CODES in clause 6.3.4.3 of the 1999 8632 spec:
>"The character set declaration for a character set that would be
>invoked as a coding system different from ISO 2022 consists of
>'complete code' followed by a string consisting only of those
>characters in the code's ISO 2022 escape sequence which come
>after the first two characters, <ESC> 2/5".
>
>If I read that correctly, to specify a character set such as "ISO/IEC 
>10646:1993, UCS-2, Level 3", which has escape sequence (ESC 2/5 2/15 4/5), 
>I would set the tail to be the two byte sequence following ESC 2/5 - which 
>would be 2/15 4/5. Is that correct?
>
>If so, why does the WebCGM profile, in T.16.14, specify only the final 
>character for UTF-8 and UTF-16, which are also 'complete code' character sets?

>Thanks for any comments or clarification on these two questions.
