I confess ignorance here. Are there really languages for which the simplest canonical representation in Unicode requires combining forms?
Off the top of my head, one Aleutian language (Unangam Tunuu) uses x-with-circumflex; Guarani apparently uses g-with-tilde. Tone marks for Chinese Zhuyin phoenetic script are combining characters; I think the Indian scripts are pretty dependant on this kind of thing as well.
Also nasalized vowels for IPA.
