Almost. OpenType specifies that there is no functional difference
between a code point that is not mapped and a code point that is
explicitly mapped to GID 0, so there is never a need to map any code
point to GID 0. But at the same time, there is no prohibition against
mapping explicitly a code point to GID 0.
