According to my understanding:
Consider Lam+Alef. The <rlig> table should form a ligature.
The sequence Lam+ZWNJ+Alef would produce non-joined sequence (i.e., final
or isolate Lam followed by isolate Alef)
However, the sequence Lam+ZWJ+ZWNJ+ZJW+Alef should produce joined Lam ALef
*but no ligature* (i.e., medial or initial Lam followed by final Alef).
(This would be used, e.g., in places where you want to document how
Lam+Alef is *not* written :-)
I don't know if this is implemented in Uniscribe or not, but I think that
is where it belongs.
