We would not necessarily need to implement two rules. The rule for (2) would already include all cases of (1). All decomposable diacritics already have a corresponding name, e.g., "LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE", which is part of (1). What do you know, our Chair is an actual genius. He just created the easiest UA implementation rule ever.
thanks for the kind words, but reading Tapani's comment, I see that I possibly have oversimplified this. It's a bit more complex: If we just use "LATIN SMALL LETTER [ASCII] WITH [diacritic]", this would leave out the previously included letters with two diacritics. So it would need to be "LATIN SMALL LETTER [ASCII] WITH [diacritic](AND [diacritic]" But even then, another group of characters that would be missed (and have previously been included) are the ones that are not pre-composed. These would be the ones classified as Type 2 in Pitinan's e-mail, e.g., U+0061 U+0331 a̱ LATIN SMALL LETTER A + COMBINING MACRON BELOW So, it appears the rule might be slightly more complex, in the end.
