Well, you used as argument that two browsers support the suggested behaviour.
Since that is not true - since the presense of mark-up in every user agent
tested, has at least one situation wehre an composed character that has been
"split up" with mark-up, become interpreted as separated characters - one
cannot use that as argument either.
But I agree that there is nothing wrong with mark-up around graphes, per se, if
it would not have these side effects. (The very thing that such mark-up could
affect normalization, does not sound convincing tomyself.) My main issue is
that browsers have a road ahead of them when it comes to properly implement
word-break/find/etc.
Btw, my objection to this being legal, is similar to my sceptisism towards the
<wbr> tag: The <wbr> tag too has the effect of making words be treated as
separate words, but without the authors proper awareness of the effect.
