I presume your algorithm depends on the Arabic presentation forms 
available as separately encoded characters in Unicode. If this is the 
case, and given that lots of Arabic characters in Unicode do not have all 
their presentation forms separately encoded, nor will any new presentation 
forms be added to the standard, it would seem such an algorithm would be 
of limited, and perhaps, misleading help.
