Hic! Wasn't ZWNJ also defined to control ligatures in non-cursive scripts like <f,ZWNJ,i> to instruct the renderer to NOT make a ligature between f and i? Are you saying now that sequences like <f,ZWNJ,i> and <f,ZWNJ,f> are non standard, without meaning, because it breaks *now* with the new change in Unicode rule D17 that changed the Unicode character model ? If so, what is the proposed ignorable control to specify to a renderer that it should NOT join <f,i> or <f,f> with a ligature? Same thing for <f,ZWJ,i> to instruct the renderer that it SHOULD better join the two grapheme clusters into a ligature... What did I miss there?
