Sections 2.11 and 7.9 of the Unicode Standard state that
nonspacing combining marks shall be combined with the
no-break space U+00A0 in order to show them in isolation.

Internet Explorer 7 did so for HTML documents.

It seems to me that Internet Explorer 8 does not combine
the no-break space (written  ) with (at least Arabic)
nonspacing marks.

I noticed a different display of the second column of
 http://www.user.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/persian-alphabet.html#vowels
in Internet Explorer 8 depending on whether "Compatibility View"
is selected or not.

Can you confirm this behaviour and perhaps give an explanation?
