Indeed, Michael. But the end-user is the one who will suffer
from a LATIN LETTER DOTLESS J, because it will make searching
for j-circumflex that much harder. The canonical decomposition
for LATIN LETTER SMALL J WITH CIRCUMFLEX is LATIN LETTER SMALL J
plus COMBINING CIRCUMFLEX, and why should that be changed?
After all, we already have the case (I can't find it just
now, but it's there somewhere) of a diacritic-below that gets
rendered above on some capital letter, but below on the
corresponding small letter.
