That's quite a different problem. All it would take to support that in
Uniscribe/OpenType would be to add the appropriate ligature mapping in a
GSUB OpenType table; nothing needs to change in Uniscribe. But for < cons,

know that something is wrong with the data, but that's based on an
assumption that nukta can't go only go on a consonant.
To solve your problem, you just need to educate type designers of the
need. It's relatively simple to solve.
