That's an interesting assertion in the light of the fact that the mark 
is predominantly used to annotate words, not to stand for the word in a 
sentence.

I would argue that using a shape that reflect that most common use is 
the one that is appropriate for plain text.

PS: for some situations you might want to use styling that doesn't limit 
itself to standard superscript. Often the mark is very small when a 
trademark term is show very prominently or in a larger type face than 
the running text on a page.
