Re: [ilreq] When does the ABNF work for Tamil consonant clusters?

@miloush only mention ligatures of vowels and consonants.  The reason that they might be relevant is a natural reluctance to break a ligature.

I believe the potential problem on fonts is more likely to apply to Devanagari, where the deliberate appearance of a halant should normally signal the end of an orthographic syllable, than to Tamil.  It is not for nothing that UAX#29 cautions that the tailoring of grapheme clusters may be font dependent.  Malayalam may be an interesting study in this regard.
