[iip] Spans around partial orthographic syllables can't be styled (#64)

r12a has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/iip:

== Spans around partial orthographic syllables can't be styled ==
If you put a span around the ব first character of the two character syllable বি in বিভাগের (eg. in order to color or otherwise style it), the vowel-sign no longer appears at the start of the word, but looks like incorrect inputting at the wrong place.

Apparently this requirement is a bit difficult to cater to as it requires the knowledge to be transferred by the font to the rendering engine about which part of the glyph is attributed to which code-point in storage. However, if it can be achieved, nothing like it.
