Why would separately encoded Fraktur be troublesome?
Blind as well as deaf, apparently.
It's already encoded. It's already not troublesome.
Diascript is to script as dialect is to language - part of a continuum of relatively minor variations.
Making up a word and using it over and over again does not mean that the word has meaning or that other people (especially experts in writing systems) are going to believe that it is a word.
In any case we're encoding the significant nodes in your *diascript. Similarly, Swedish, Bokmål, Nynorsk, and Danish are distinguished, as are the Romance languages.
