Hello Jameson,

by chance, I was browsing around the Colemak site yesterday, and saw
your «Dead keys and xkb — oh my.» post.  As I have no Colemak account, I
could not comment, but now I have the opportunity: Do not implement dead
keys as XKB levels or groups.  Use the Compose mechanism in libX11.
Searching the web for «.XCompose» should give you sufficient information
to get going.

Regards,

Andreas
