I'm not sure we really need them as the sequential fathatan stand-alone
ought to do the job.  But I agree that since FD3C and FD3D already exist
I guess we need to add what you note above as well.  I'm not arguing,
just thinking out-loud :-)

Done.

Done.

I've added this to the doc but without an example.  We need the corresponding
sura/aya to go with it please else we should not ask for it.

Corrected.

The proposal is updated (URL below) - let me know what you think and
please update the corresponding font file with all these new glyphs
so we can ship 'em both soon :-)

Do you think I should move these new glyph under the appropriate
diacritics ?  For instance, move item-9 and item-10 to be
right below item-1 (would it make more sense like that) ?

Mohammed, keep up the _great_ work !!

Salam.
