I was going to mention this also. Anton is correct, Don has worked out a system for groups of glyphs that have certain characteristics and tend to follow each other in sequence.
I have, as well, actually, and have hinted at it in a couple of blogs, but I haven't published my system (I am still, months later, trying to work out some of the combination glyphs). In general outline, it agrees with both Tom and Don's approach—it only differs in some of the details. That's why I always describe the VMS as being "structured" in a way that is different from natural language (with the perpetual caveat that it works this way if the spaces are actually spaces).
