I was refering to the fact that a keyboard that allows you to enter Hebrew
diacritics in any order, even when they are not entered after a base letter,
will allow users to enter text which cannot be rendered successfully. When
you are creating a text that will later be used in a legacy encoding with
limited support for Hebrew in fonts, a keyboard that restricts you to enter
precombined forms (even if they are not canonical) will work better: the
sequence of letter + diacritic is only seen in the keyboard driver or IME,
not in the text editor that uses it.
If a rendering engine doesn't do what it should, it is not for keyboards
to fix the problem. The point of Unicode is not for typing what one
displays oneself but to interchange information between different
systems. So in general the typing and the rendering are done on
different systems.
