This means that German documents will really need to use ZWNJ
(fortunately, this character should soon become standard on German
keyboards, and CSS3 would be a good motivation for including this key
mapping) for common ligatures like fi,fl, ff, ffi, ffl, ſt, or even tt...
It would be nicer if the user were, "by default", offered a choice. It
may also be of interest to point out the parallel to the well-known
problem of using a chat or email client where innocuous letter strings
all of a sudden show up as unintended emoticons.
