Could you please quote me chapter and verse for this from the TUS or
other relevant ruling. It contradicts TUS 6.0 Section 11.4 Ordering of
Syllable Components (p367), which treats U+17D2 KHMER SIGN COENG and
its following consonant (or independent vowel) as inseparable.
It also creates the further oddity that when using a 'consonant sign'
(Tibetan, possibly Myanmar, and Tai Tham) one would have the sequence
<la, candrabindu, subjoined la>. (Alas, I don't have any relevant
Sanskrit examples in those scripts.)
The problem may be what is meant by an 'Indic script'? Do you include
Tibetan and Further Indian Indic scripts (e.g. Myanmar, Tai Tham and
Khmer), or do you just mean Indian Indic scripts?
