One possibility for a workaround to keep the classical receivers happy
is to leave some residual carrier.  Instead of a 180-degree phase
shift, make it 90 or 120, so that the signal can be regarded as the
sum of a pure carrier and a smaller BPSK signal.

Would older receivers be OK with this?  They really should be tracking
on timescales much longer than one second anyway, so there's some hope
at least.

Cheers,
