Thank you! Yes, that does explain almost everything. I'm pretty sure
I read that section, but I obviously completely failed to understood
it, possibly because I didn't understand that svara didn't refer to
vowels. (Ghu only knows what I made of the passage.)
There's still the problem of the

Modifier Mark Rules.
In addition to vowel signs, three other types of combining marks may be
applied to a component of an orthographic syllable or to the syllable as a
whole: nukta, bindus, and svaras.

Hi David,
as far as I understand rendering Devanagari fonts, this is handled by
the GPOS
Alas, no.

should be reported to the font desogner.

The requirement of the Indic specification is to display the dotted
circle if the mark cannot be combined.
Aha! Thank you the pointer. I assume you're referring to this?
Also, the original version of xetex was developed by SIL (SIL
also has some useful fonts), and SIL works with such minority languages
exclusively. So while it may be possible for the *tex engine or fonts to
omit the dotted circle, it doesn't seem to be a very high priority.

not able to judge whether the positions of Vedic accents are correct
or not.
