Er, in my book acciaccatura is not a modern practice, it is rather old ;-). And there are a couple of ways to notate it already, none of which has been mentioned so far. The notation style I prefer is a line between the notes in the chord/interval that are supposed to be filled out. (<http://homepage.mac.com/lac/finale/acciaccatura.gif>Se exemple)
Since the notation is not self evident to the player unfamiliar with old keyboard practice, an explanation is always polite.
I'd have summed it up as "not self evident to the player", period. The worst thing to do when symbols are routinely interpreted in a variety of ways is to introduce yet more symbols indicating the same thing.
I would humbly suggest that any musician not familiar with the
appearance and meaning of all ornaments found in The Well-Tempered
Clavier (as the acciacatura does) is inadequately educated.
