You can't get away with it that easily. If the standard specifies that
<space, combining mark> should be displayed as an isolated combining
mark, then it would be conformant for a partial implementation to
display this sequence as nothing or as an illegal sequence. But if the
system attempts to display the sequence in a meaningful manner, it must
do so according to the standard, i.e. not as dotted circle plus
combining mark.
