I agree.

OK, in my last message I was cofused, this was Peter's suggestion and 
Jony had seconded it.

I take it as confirmed then to do *all* marks, accents and points from 
the Hebrew block.

Is it agreed that this should be linked to L/G/C accent folding or 
would it be useful to keep the description separate so that these 
foldings could be invoked separately?

A./


I can see that there might be cases when the Hebrew folding should be 
invoked without other scripts being affected. But I think that anyone 
applying a general accent or diacritic folding would expect this to 
include all Hebrew (and Arabic, Syriac etc) combining marks.
