True. But fortunately Unicode don't really need to worry about
normalisation of PUA data, as this is surely out of its scope. So it
would not be fatal to use class 0 combining characters in PUA scripts,
and leave to the user any possible burden of ensuring that multiple
combining marks are correctly ordered. It would be enough to indicate
that a particular character is, or is currently being used as, a
combining mark.
