For time being for testing purpose we can type u0d4e at the end of syllable and check.
Agreed. If the kerning is done first, we can later bring in reordering support from the software side.
Shriramana, can you ask Microsoft guy regarding any link for it in specification, we can ask behdad to do that change in harfbuzz.
AFAIK this is not present in the Microsoft OT docs on Malayalam (http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otfntdev/malayot/shaping.aspx). The Unicode publication only says right now that it should be placed after the following consonant but clearly this is insufficient description. I will ask the Unicode people to update the wording. Hopefully Behdad can implement this as you say.
