[uievents] Issue: Dead keys and unsupported base characters marked as i18n-comment

r12a has just labeled an issue for https://github.com/w3c/uievents as 
"i18n-comment":

== Dead keys and unsupported base characters ==
5.3.3. Dead keys
https://w3c.github.io/uievents/#keys-dead

> This process might be aborted when a user types an unsupported base 
character (that is, a base character for which the which the active 
diacritical mark is not available) after pressing a dead key:

Are we saying here that the spec recommends this behaviour, or just 
describing what sometimes happens?

The description in the spec may just be following current practice, 
but i wonder why the sequence ¨+q shouldn't just produce q̈ if there's
 no single character to map it to.
