Putting something in the Unicode Standard might be appropriate,
or there might be better venues to document the conventions.

I'm of the opinion that conventions that use characters of general category Cf are best documented in the standard. Otherwise, a consistent treatment of such characters across implementations depends too much on context (e.g. use of a particular font).

"Fine typography" issues for other characters, incl. combining
are a different matter. These will legitimately differ even
among uses of the same character (viz. math and text handling
of accents, for example).
