I personally think it should be done in a font. I'm sure it can be done 
in a font, similar to vowel reordering in South Asian scripts if there's 
no simpler solution. That would make it straightforward because all four 
tone marks would be handled the same.

But of course I'll leave it to the experts who are closer to the use cases.

As I say above, adding handling of the light tone mark should also be 
possible in a font.
