    Agree
    If it wants to be more charitable than conformant, it MAY
    choose to reassemble them to create U+10300, but it is under no
    obligation to do so.
    hum... where is that part part come from. I though Unicode 3.2 and 4.0 is
    clear that seqnece is illegal. I don't think "it MAY choose to erassemble them to
    create U+10300" is in the Unicode standard. Actually, if you do so, it may
    create security hole in the application.
