I happened to run across a good example of productive use of combining
marks, the Duden site (a great online dictionary for German). They use
U+0323 (   ̣) COMBINING DOT BELOW to indicate the stress. Here is an
example:

ụnterbuttern

http://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/unterbuttern

They aren't, however, consistent; you also see underlining for stress.

e̲i̲nschränken
But not, interestingly, with the HTML underline, but with U+0332 (  ̲  )
COMBINING LOW LINE.
