There is a list of old hangul jamos (though I'm not sure that is what
they intend): Appendix B: Standard composition for Old Hangul Jamos in
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otfntdev/hangulot/appen.htm
There are 120 combined jamos which are not represented by a single
jamo letter but by a sequence of 2 or 3 jamo letters.
-------------------------------------------------------
L V T total
single Jamo 91 67 82 240 (including fillers)
Jamo sequence 33 28 59 120
-------------------------------------------------------
I'm engaging in speculation that they would intend to change the
conjoining jamo behavior. (Currently a syllable consists of <L+V+T*>,
but if all jamos could be represented by a single jamo letter,
a syllable would consist of <LVT?>.) Oh, that is only my guesswork...
