Well there are two flip sides to this situation. On the one hand
you're right, but on the other hand if no one tries to use the
combining characters, applications and fonts will remain broken. :(
Since I need to use scripts where combining is essential, I'm somewhat
inclined to hilight the brokenness in apps (by using combining chars
in more situations) in hopes that the authors will fix them...
