    I have uploaded the relevant draft pages of the SBL Hebrew user manual to

             http://www.tiro.com/transfer/SBLappendixB.pdf

    This appendix provides suggested combining classes for customised
    normalisation routines, compared with Unicode normalisation routines. This
    has been tested by Libronix/Logos with the Michigan-Claremont electronic
    text of the _Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia_.

    There are 17 marks whose combining class value should be corrected, of
    which the vowels and meteg are most important.

    If you browse in the shelves that, in American bookstores,
    are labeled New Age, you can find there even Saint Augustine,
    who, as far as I know, was not a fascist. But combining Saint
    Augustine and Stonehenge -- that is a symptom of Ur-Fascism.
