Isn't this need of allowing separate markup on combining characters
addressed by the current proposal to encode a invisible base character
(IBC), so that markup can be applied to a non defective combining sequence?
I understand that this proposed new character would more likely be used to
allow rendering isolated combining marks, without needing to encode their
spacing variant, but the sequence <IBC,combining mark> (now possibly
enclosed in markup) could become a candidate for possible ligaturing by
preceding it by a ZWJ, or for word-wrap exclusion with a leading WJ...
