Worth, you are fighting a mathematical impossibility. The sine of an angle determines the amount of rotation required for either blade height or blade angle. Sines are kind of funny in that they give different amounts of change in height for different amounts of angular rotation. The formula to calculate what you need is E = Emax * (sine of Theta) where theta is the angle desired.
The way it could be beat is to use a pair of centered worm gears with one at right angles running on the trunnion to adjust blade angle and another very similar to the way it currently works, to raise blade height. There are two very specific triangles that would have to be designed into the arbor and trunnion. It could be done by anyone who really wanted to improve the tablesaw. I think the improvement would be in the scope of what the Biesemeyer fence did for adjusting rip size.
