Thanks for this. Now I only have to discover how to say in XSL: "write 
{\parfillskip=0pt\par\parskip=0pt\noindent} in the first blank space 
following the 1000th character after a <p> unless there is a </p> in 
the chain" :-) I guess it would be easier by hand.

The following question is perhaps not quite off-topic. I'm trying to 
check Sanskrit hyphenation in Malayalam script and I have a small 
difficulty with two-part vowels (Unicode Standard, ch. 9, p. 239). In 
TextEdit (even if I select all ligatures) or TeXShop, MA + OO, for 
instance, is displayed like this:

But in XeTeX's output, with the Fontspec command:

	\setromanfont[Script=Malayalam]{AnjaliOldLipi}

I get the right display:

Is this a limitation of text editors? Of course it would be more 
pleasant to have a script displayed normally in text editors too.

Kind regards,
