With this features it should be very easy to identify the language used.
Well, not entirely. Natural language (i.e. people talking to each other) and spelling are two separate things. Spelling is a human construct, and in the Middle Ages it wasn't standardized yet. If Voynichese is the result of a spelling experiment, or as some linguists see it a budding writing culture, it may deviate from its underlying natural language in all kinds of ways due to artificial human intervention.
Did I understand you correctly. You are arguing that the writing is independent from the language since there are too many spelling variations? Wouldn't such a text fulfill the definition of gibberish? Anyway, the text of the VMS is too structured for such an explanation. There are far too many spelling rules.
