I understand variant selectors are only a proposal.
However, I remember to see them used to select accross the widely known
Devanagari designs (a, jha, retroflex na, tha, ça). Also same use allows
for the variants of the mandatory conjuncts (ksha and jña).
Why can't they used then to select Bengali rendering forms? or the numerous
allowed variations, like Devanagari kra, çri U+0936 U+0944, retroflexe tta
U+091F U+094D U+091F (can use zwnj though)...
Where is the limit drawn?
