1) I suggest adding an item to the normalization FAQ:
2) I suggest adding an item to the normalization stability policy:
Reason: A composite with ccc!=0 could cause normalization to produce un-normalized text. The problem is reordering, which is done before composition and where the composite's starter blocks reordering across it. After combining the starter with another character, if the composite had ccc!=0 it could be out of order compared to preceding or following characters, and there is not another reordering step to fix that. So this has to be forbidden.
