Or, more generally, to the implementation (which may of course use the underlying OS). I think (personal opinion) the SVG Tiny spec should provide guidance (e.g. by pointing to Charmod and Unicode) but should not place normative constraints on editing ligatures. It would be sad if an OS came up with a novel, wonderful and intuitive way to edit ligatures in a given language, but SVG implementations were prevented from using it by some language in the spec that didn't foresee it. As Mark says, this is tricky, and furthermore it doesn't seem to involve interoperability of SVG implementations. -- François
