There may be a few samples of presentation forms & conjuncts in a proposal -

script.
In any case that information is language-specific, not merely script-specific.
Surely if shaping, presentation form etc information is to be encoded in
a font or rendering mechanism at all, it must be script-specific not
language-specific. That is one reason why there are quite a number of
Persian, Urdu etc variant characters in the Arabic script block - they
cannot be unified with the otherwise identical Arabic characters because
they have different shaping behaviour.
