I'm not a designer, so I too am interested to see if it can be done in
an aesthetically pleasing way. :)

My view is that a good solution needs to not only fit the design of the
font, but also be immediately obvious to German readers as to what it
is, why it exists, and why we've done it.

The test I have in my head is a street sign ending in "straße", set
all-caps. If that works, and is clear to all who see it, we've solved
the problem.
