It might be a good idea to also clarify in the text that not causing a break in joining behaviour does not necessarily imply any specific display result, which will depend on layout engine and font interaction. As a minimum, I think it might be reasonable to expect e.g. a letter in a medial joining situation will display as a medial form, but beyond that expectation cross-font and/or cross-glyph run layout of a kind that does not currently exist would be necessary to display a particular medial variant based on context or to cursively connect the glyphs of different fonts or sizes.
