This argument is unsound. Encoding is essentially autonomous to either
input methods or rendering methods, and it may demand things that would
be very unintuitive to the uninstructed user who examines the encoding
directly. There may be very good reasons for encoding holem-waw as
other than a holem followed by a waw.
