1. It corresponds to standard Hebrew grammar. 2. It would be simple and easy to explain to users, edit, handle in keyboards, etc. 3. A combining mark for holam male would be applicable to a vav and only to a vav. It seems needlessly complicated and arcane to create a combining mark for the sole purpose of creating exactly one sequence that uses it. 4. A combining mark sequence would invite the creation of a new presentation form (or else changing the decomposition of FB4B). Ted Ted Hopp, Ph.D. ZigZag, Inc.
