Collation is very different, and already has mechanisms for dealing with
sequences. So no CGJ is needed there (except for case 2).

Mark, can you outline what these mechanisms are or point me to a
definition e.g. in a section of UTR #10? As I had understood it, the
only way to deal with sequences of the sort I have in mind is to list
each possible individually as a contraction. The Logical_Order_Exception
property (see http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr10/ section 3.1.3) just
might be useful, but doesn't seem to have the necessary flexibility as
it causes a character to be swapped with ANY following character, not
just with any of a restricted list of such characters. The backwards
marking used for French accents (section 3.1.2) seems to apply over too
long a string.
