Works actually fine in my browser.
My apologies to font designers and foundries, already supporting the
combining diacritics with superscript Latin letters. Only in my text editor
it didn’t work, hence the commas instead of quotes bracketing the literal.

There is too much interpretation in that statement. TUS actually specifies
that no difference of usage is intended by a difference in naming schemes,
i.e. MODIFIER LETTERs shall not be discriminated from those letters
having SUPERSCRIPT in their name.

It may not be explicitely prohibited, though it is not Unicode conformant.
Best regards,
