I would argue that the reason we mostly see the whole syllabic cluster as drop initial nowadays is due to software constraints. Similarly in epigraphic inscriptions, you can find line breaks in the middle of a syllable, which you cannot reproduce using Unicode plaintext now. I think it goes down to what the purpose of the standard or guidance is. If a particular orthography is practice in the past, is that something we want to allow or prevent? (Either way, whether vowel marks are valid drop caps on their own is not really a point of this issue.) -- GitHub Notification of comment by miloush Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/iip/issues/56#issuecomment-569424605 using your GitHub account
