What is *discouraged*, but not prohibited, of course, is
using U+FEFF for a zero width no-break space *function*,
precisely because that interacts so confusingly with
the BOM.

And what if you need a ZWNBS function for something other than gluing
things together? For example, as a carrier for a string or line initial
diacritical mark when no spacing is required? This is one of the
suggestions for some of the Hebrew problems, but I have had no response
to my suggestion of using U+2060, which is inappropriately named for the
function I have in mind.
