    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.
