/ISO 8957:1996 Hebrew alphabet coded character set for bibliographic information interchange/These additional marks seem to be not so much cantillation marks as non-Tiberian pointing. Further relevant documents include http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/open/02n3133.pdf, http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n1749.pdf, http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n2498.pdf, and http://anubis.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC2/WG2/docs/n2462.doc. In the last of these I read:

/This standard has a small repertoire of cantillation marks which have yet to be added to ISO/IEC 10646. JTC1 is waiting for Israel to make a case for these, as they did when the TC46 standard was under development. If no case can be made, TC46 may have little choice but to give up support for them. /
*Response*: It remains the case that experts on cantillation marks have not made a definitive mapping of existing ISO/IEC 10646. In the absence of such input little progress can be made.

NCITS/L2 and the Unicode Consortium recommend that the addition of characters from Table 2 of ISO 8957:1996 be deferred. This will allow experts on cantillation marks and historic pointing and scholars from Israel and from other countries to clarify the nature of specific marks, and to determine the correct mappings for certain TC 46 characters. This will allow a complete proposal for any missing characters to be developed.
