The markup-based solution would have to be something like
yerushal<ai>ai</ai>m
which would normalize to
yerushal<ai>ia</ai>m
Alternate tags such as <ReverseCanonicalOrder> would, of course, be
possible.) Thus, it would be the markup that determined the "a(y)i"
semantics and rendering, not the characters themselves.
A variation (assuming that canonical ordering does not occur around markup
tags), might be something like
yerushala<CanonicalOrderingBlock>
