3 pickups tele wiring

I'm planning a new guitar, Strat shape but with some kind T wiring. For start we have a 4 ways T wiring with 2 T pickups but I want to add a middle humbucker. I don't want to go to a classical 5 ways switch because you don't have access to the neck + bridge config. I want that the hb will become a plus and can be added to any 4w T combination. Also I want an on/off switch so I can keep the middle pu off and switch it on for solos.
For aesthetics, the controls for the middle pickup will be concentrics.
Can anyone tell me if my wiring schematic is ok?. Thanks

For the Middle humbucker switch you really would only need a SPST switch for the hot wire. It's either on or off.

On another note for neck and bridge config a 5 way superswitch can do this. You might not want to but it is an option.
 
The first problem I see is that you have your volume pots wired backwards. You are not going to have independent control.

Second problem, your killswitch wiring is overcomplicated. You should be using only one pole of the switch.
