I suggested both options:
- general purpose combining VS characters, (which I noted CVSn, where n
stands for some number), which would best fit in special plane 14 with the
other variant selectors.
- hebrew specific combining VS characters, (which I noted HVSn), which would
best fit in a RTL block (the Hebrew blocks in the BMP if there's enough
space for it).
You take the second option here, but you want to restrict to usage with
METEG only, and I suggested in that case that it would be more simple to
encode a medial meteg with a compatibility decomposition (NFKD) to the
standard meteg.
