Do you have illustrations/examples demonstrating a real-world requirement for repeated split matras, rather than just a constructed test-case?</blockquote><div><br></div></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;color:rgb(51,51,0)" class="gmail_default">

We're aware of this example, and intend to fix it; it's a separate issue from whether some or all matras may be repeated.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
