If there are likely to be many languages requiring exceptions to the
segmentation algorithm wrt U+2019, then perhaps it would be better to
establish conventions using ZWJ/ZWNJ and adjust the algorithm
accordingly so that it would be cross-languages. (Rather than requiring
additional and open ended language-specific tailorings.) (I inserted
several combinations of ZWJ/ZWNJ into James Tauber's example, but
couldn't improve the segmentation in LibreOffice, although it was
possible to make it worse.)
