I don't think design are 100% on what to do in this case yet, so I don't think we should be working on this until they are.

Does this really require a design? Having read the explanation it seems fairly self-explanatory. I think the most important factor is avoiding cutting any indicators in half with overlap - they need to be completely hidden (visibility=0)
