Yes, that is the sort of thing I meant by 'options', but also more
generally what are the different approaches that one might take to the
problem? Creating a font mechanism that specifies chromatic variation is
one approach, but as you note the likelihood of getting this implemented
are very slim.
I know of at least one other option, but I'm under NDA :)

Language must belong to the Other -- to my linguistic community
as a whole -- before it can belong to me, so that the self comes to its
unique articulation in a medium which is always at some level
indifferent to it. - Terry Eagleton
