ommiting symbols

Greetings ,

The spec says that even if a symbol table is included in an sa bitstream, it
is not required to contain all symbols used in the orchestra and score.
There seem to be a couple of ways of ommiting symbols:

1. Only defining the first X symbols in the symbol table, when there are
more than X symbols used in the orc/sco.

2. Making some strings in the symbol table zero length.

3. a combination of 1 and 2.

The question: is 2 (and hence 3) a valid way of ommitting symbol text?

Best to all,

Ross.
