This is not _quite_ the way it works, because there are also
precomposed forms.  IDNA, for instance, uses only the precomposed
forms and treats the Jamo forms as INVALID.  The invalidity of them is
actually contrary to the principles used in setting out the IDNA2008
work, but there seemed to be very strong agreement about this.  (IIRC,
but I haven't gone back and checked, this had something to do with the
rather tricky normalization rules.)

This was what IDNA baked into the protocol for Korean, so you could do
something similar for conventions in local-parts and get a long way.
I think there remains, for Korean, a problem with Han, but that is not
related to this issue.
