Re: [charmod-norm] NFC doesn't combine 'any' combining mark

"if possible" is technically accurate and the wording is extremely careful. The Note @asmusf cites is directly above the note box. However, I agree that this is potentially confusing. I added a new paragraph to the note box:

> Users are cautioned that the resulting character sequence can still contain combining marks: not all character sequences have a precomposed equivalent and some scripts depend on combining marks for encoding. There are even cases where a given base character and combining mark are not replaced with a precomposed character because the combination is "blocked" by another combining mark in the sequence. 

This text does seem a bit repetitious, but maybe that's an advantage?
