In all I would rather ban all defective sequences, by enforcing the W3C
character model. I dont' see much point for them. The only possible reason I
can think of right now is to allow description of the character itself, though
that would possibly best be done through an element that represents the concept
of a Unicode character along the lines of <character codepoint="824" />.
Formally, as we discovered recently on this list, it is necessary to use
defective combining sequences to write some Khmer words correctly as
defined in TUS 4.0 p.282; for a sequence of combining characters
following ZWNJ is a defective combining sequence.
