    If there is even the remotest possibility of this happening, we need to
    know quickly! Defective combining sequences are legal Unicode and are
    now being suggested for use in Hebrew e.g. for holam male. But such a
    definition would be useless if XML restricts the texts it can represent
    to a subset of Unicode excluding such sequences.
