.null is still mentioned in the CORL table spec. Apparently DirectWrite has some implementation detail that expects the glyph at index 1 be empty (non printable), but this only applies for CORL/CPAL color fonts, not all fonts.

If gid1 is non empty, then it will show up underneath all other color glyphs; this happens in Windows 10 on Google Chrome.

In OT 1.8, only .notdef is recommended now and the rest not mentioned.
