There's a unified model either way, and you've made the most common case, by a factor of 10, the more complex one. You haven't done anything about the soft-dotted property; a working system still has to know that people pressing the i key and then adding an accent or vector symbol expect the dot to disappear. -- Kie ekzistas vivo, ekzistas espero.
