I would bet that not many people would use those characters if any,
but on the list quite some more characters are missing that exist in
Unicode:

Zcircumflex,
Ngrave, Wgrave,
Etilde, Vtilde, Ytilde,
Hdiaeresis, Tdiaeresis, Wdiaeresis, Xdiaeresis,
Gacute, Kacute, Macute, Pacute, Wacute, ...

(I stopped at acute, there are a few more accents ...)

But just repeating the pattern (\defineaccent ^ Z {\Zcircumflex})
would mean having to define new named entities. In MKII these would
not make any sense at all as there was no TeX encoding supporting
these characters. An alternative would be to define them directly from
Unicode data in MKIV.

I'm not suggesting that this needs to be added ... Extra low priority
task, or if someone else asks.
