One thing I don't think I've seen mentioned yet is that ö is already a 
unification of O-diaeresis and O-umlaut, and while the glyph variant 
under discussion is a valid variant of O-umlaut (related to oͤ, œ and ø 
as other variants, where form acceptability and form preference varies 
between languages that use O-umlaut), it is not a valid variant of 
O-diaeresis.
