My two pieces of jade: The trema and acute can cooccur like in Greek. The circumflex could rotate down to the bottom of the glyph (so it's like a hammock rather than a hat) when other diacritics take up its space. It's terribly difficult to computer-typeset, yes, but it would be simply stunning. --- shreyas sampat
