 I just looked at the Bengali part of chapter 9 of Unicode4.0. It cleary 
 states what to do for 1b. I don't think we need to bring it up with 
 OpenType mailing list, unless we want to know if they are planning to 
 add some new feature in OT layout table. And IMHO if uniscribe does 
 not render it properly then we need to let them know, not follow them :)

+On a related note, I think the Bengali letter E (098F) should also be
+considered as a consonant. This is specified in the Indic FAQ, as well
+as in Chapter 9 of the Unicode standard
+(http://www.unicode.org/book/preview/ch09.pdf). 
+Also, I am not very sure about this, but the sequence 09B0 09CD 098B
+should be allowed to form a reph with the vowel 098B. This is required
+for the Bengali word "Nairhit" and afaik, the latest beta of Uniscribe
+forms a reph (We had some discussion with Paul Nelson of Microsoft
+Typography on this - if you want I can forward the related emails to
+you) - or do I file this as yet another bug?
