I guess Arabic shaping is doable through presentation form characters, 
because the latter are character inherited from legacy standards using 
them in such solutions. But if you want to support other “arabic like” 
scripts (like Syriac, N’ko), or even some LTR complex scripts, like 
Myanmar or Khmer, this “solution” cannot work, because no equivalent of 
“presentation form characters” exists for these scripts
