Before answering *that* question, I'd like to know why it is felt that
these distinctions need to be representable in terms of character
sequences.
For instance, this could be handled by different fonts (i.e. one font
display the signs to the right of the vowel while another font displays
the signs to the left of the vowel).
It could also be handled in a single OpenType font by means of Language
System tags (i.e. distinct Traditional and New typographic conventions),
or by an OpenType feature, though it's by no means obvious that those
would be preferable or what an appropriate feature would be for such a
thing.
