If this is an error or omission, then how does it impact the stability if this is changed?
Your public review indicates that "March 1. The freeze will apply to all properties defined in the following files: UnicodeData.txt". But decompositions are part of this file.
Given that the 5.0 standard is still not normative, I don't think it affects stability if this is changed. But if this is not changed now, it won't be possible to change it after the release, as indicated in the PublicReview page:
"Substantive feedback received after March 1 regarding any of those properties will be recorded and taken into consideration in review of future versions of the standard, but will not be reflected in modifications for Unicode 5.0."
This solution won't work due to the Stability pact. So are those decompositions already normative???
Philippe.

Similar question for independant vowels with tedung:
* U+1B06 = <U+1B05 ; U+1B35>
BALINESE LETTER AKARA TEDUNG (aa) =
BALINESE LETTER AKARA (a) +
BALINESE VOWEL SIGN TEDUNG (aa)
* U+1B08 = <U+1B07 ; U+1B35>
BALINESE LETTER IKARA TEDUNG (ii) =
BALINESE LETTER IKARA (i) +
BALINESE VOWEL SIGN TEDUNG (aa)
* U+1B0A = <U+1B09 ; U+1B35>
BALINESE LETTER IKARA TEDUNG (uu) =
BALINESE LETTER IKARA (u) +
BALINESE VOWEL SIGN TEDUNG (aa)
* U+1B0C = <U+1B0B ; U+1B35>
BALINESE LETTER RA REPA TEDUNG (vocalic rr) =
BALINESE LETTER RA REPA (vocalic r) +
BALINESE VOWEL SIGN TEDUNG (aa)
* U+1B0E = <U+1B0D ; U+1B35>
BALINESE LETTER LA LENGA TEDUNG (vocalic ll) =
BALINESE LETTER LA LENGA (vocalic l) +
BALINESE VOWEL SIGN TEDUNG (aa)
* U+1B12 = <U+1B11 ; U+1B35>
BALINESE LETTER OKARA TEDUNG (au) =
BALINESE LETTER OKARA (o) +
BALINESE VOWEL SIGN TEDUNG (aa)
Note the variant glyph for the tedung on U+1B0E (vocalic ll), attached at a lower point, as shown in the beta chart. Is the chart correct, or is the normal tedung glyph possible also for what could be only a recommanded and common, but optional ligature?

Subject: Unicode 5.0 decompositions of Balinese vowel signs with tedung
I note that the Unicode 5.0 BETA charts (d1) do not indicate any canonical decomposition for composite vowel signs, like they exist in Devanagari, especially for those that have a right-hand part. Won't that cause difficulties in implementations?
(...)
This concerns the following five vowel signs:
* U+1B3B = <U+1B3A ; U+1B35>
BALINESE VOWEL SIGN RA REPA TEDUNG (vocalic rr) =
BALINESE VOWEL SIGN RA REPA (vocalic r) +
BALINESE VOWEL SIGN TEDUNG (aa)
* U+1B3D = <U+1B3C ; U+1B35>
BALINESE VOWEL SIGN LA LENGA TEDUNG (vocalic ll) =
BALINESE VOWEL SIGN LA LENGA (vocalic l) +
BALINESE VOWEL SIGN TEDUNG (aa)
* U+1B40 = <U+1B3E ; U+1B35>
BALINESE VOWEL SIGN TALING TEDUNG (o) =
BALINESE VOWEL SIGN TALING (e) +
BALINESE VOWEL SIGN TEDUNG (aa)
* U+1B41 = <U+1B3E ; U+1B35>
BALINESE VOWEL SIGN TALING REPA TEDUNG (au) =
BALINESE VOWEL SIGN TALING REPA (ai) +
BALINESE VOWEL SIGN TEDUNG (aa)
* U+1B43 = <U+1B42 ; U+1B35>
BALINESE VOWEL SIGN TALING PEPET TEDUNG (oe) =
BALINESE VOWEL SIGN TALING PEPET (ae) +
BALINESE VOWEL SIGN TEDUNG (aa)
