I suggest you look at
ftp://publisher.libronix.com/drop/Tiro/SBLHebrew-Distribution/SBLHebrew-Manual.pdf
(prepared by John Hudson), section "The normalisation issue" and
Appendix B, and at
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/sites/nrsi/media/BibHebAltCharsProposal.pdf
(prepared by Peter Constable). These both explain the problem in some
detail. They also propose alternative combining classes for the Hebrew
vowels without actually proposing that the existing Unicode definitions
should be changed.
