I can already do all of that with my regular US-English keyboard layout. ü, ä, ö, ß. See? So this seems kinda pointless. Or is this some survey project by the U of AA to see how stupid people are?

Thanks for you feedback, but you may have missed the point. This layout lets you type the German umlauts by just pressing a single key combination (Option-a for �, etc.) The standard US layout requires you to press two: first Option-u (deadkey for the dots), then the a key. It also doesn't support the � translation for uppercase. Hope that clears it up.
