OK. But note that I put "implement" in quotes. The level of implementation I am looking for is simply to ignore CGJ or delete it from the renderer's input stream. And there does seem to be an obligation at least to ignore "default ignorable" characters if they are not more specifically implemented, according to the first two paragraphs of http://www.unicode.org/review/pr-5.html. OK, the word used is "should"; in the context of a standard, should "should" be taken as giving an obligation or only a recommendation? "Default ignorable" is listed as a normative property in Unicode 4.0 (prepublication) section 3.5 table 3-1, in http://www.unicode.org/book/preview/ch03.pdf, but this refers to the unpublished section 5.20.
