I doubt any implementor will actually implement this so we should remove it. There was a small thread pointing this out [2], including Simon's comment [3]: There are all sorts of cases where you don't want Arabic letters to join, e.g. acronyms like IBM, and I don't think it's a good idea to multiply cases where it gets triggered by other properties.
