Yes. You are right that the 10 hand in 05 is looking at the Heel of  
the fisted hand, which is fascinating and maybe someday we can have a  
symbol for that too...so that is a cool idea!

But meanwhile, can you understand how we are writing it at the  
moment? Look at the number 10 in ASL...we are writing the hand like  
the S hand parallel to the floor and then the thumb line sticks  
up...This is what we will use for the next year or so to see how it  
goes...I hope you feel it is readable...
