If your scheme has sufficient success, each combination of base letter and diacritic may well be encoded as a separate letter because the position of the diacritic is not obvious. I presume we're looking at no more than about 12 new characters - DO CHADA WITH BLACK DOT is an obvious competitor to THO NANGMONTHO WITH BLACK DOT. I'm disappointed you found that simply adding a black dot for the voiced consonants didn't work. If it had worked, then we might have argued that this was just a font variation.
