   1. The case of റ്റ is similar to ള്ള in the document. A font that does
   not stack the റ + ് + റ can render it in horizontal format. So a word like
   മീറററ് can be spoofed by applying virama to the last two റ. It is rare to
   see a font that does not stack റ്റ, but instead of depending on that week
   assumption, better add a WLE rule similar to ള്ള. (This is also mentioned
   in Appendix part of the document as community feedback- That feedback was
   from me.)
   2. The document should NOT be conflicting with nta as explained in
   Unicode version 11,  Chapter 12. In the table under 6.1, 1a, 1b, 1c - all
   three should be allowed as variants and should not block any of them.
   Currently 1b is blocked. 1b is mentioned in Unicode Chapter 12. So it
   should be allowed. There is a debate going on whether that is a correct
   sequence or not in Unicode, it may or may not be corrected. As it exists in
   Chapter 12, it should be treated as variant.
