As a user my main worry would be editing one of the mesh topologies would unexpectedly cause some nulls to change orientation because the reference frame changes.
A safer approach would be to create a smooth and continuous coordinate space and align the nulls using that data. If the mesh topology is edited, the nulls won't have the rug unexpectedly pulled out from underneath. Nvidia has sample code to compute such a space for normal maps (NvMeshMender?). The code could be modified to output a coordinate space as a weightmap, vertex color, UVspace, userdatablob, or whatever suits the purpose.
