Ah yes. Well well well. (Emh.)
Please allow me not to comment about these kind of interpretations and
whether in this very case in particular it is worth engaging a debate.

I am sorry to have missed your point, I was too much targetted at ZWSP.

I do not pretend I answer your original question; please remember I did
argue about *ZWJ*, but I did not about the adequation to ban *ZWNJ* from
IDN.
And the point you are making clear above is one of the very good reason for
me to have done that.
