Good idea. This would probably be even better than using 
acutes, because I don't believe there are any acutes for r or l, 
which we would need. And since its ASCII, RLP should be happy 
too :-)

So tumultuous:
tyml^tcu,ys

and Bernard:
la brna^rd.

A different character might be better for asthetic reasons, but the 
concept is there. I don't think we should wait for official 
declaration -- let usage decide!
