Reference in a WSD to an entity set makes the set of
entity-name-to-character mappings defined in the entity set available
for use in text to which the WSD applies. Unless the
character-to-entity-name mappings are modified by the
<exceptions> element, any name in the entity set referred to may
be used with its standard meaning in any text to which the WSD applies.
Since standard public entity sets are not always completely explicit
about the distinctions among characters, glyphs, graphemes, and
allographs, the TEI will provide standard writing system declarations
which explicitly document the mappings provided by some commonly used
public entity sets; it is recommended that similar documentation be
provided for locally developed entity sets.
