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.
