Sure.

You droped the part about "ak-k" and a potentiel "ak" ligature, is that
something you agree? My proposition just fits in what you describe
anyway: a ligature between two glyphs.

That is something I think is of interest, to be able to add information
to a font without modifying it, or rewriting it (that will avoid
licenses problem). This is something that have been done already with
VF/TFM to add kerning pairs in poor TTF fonts.
