One example is the contact symbols.  They are all under the touch 
symbol.  Check out the ASL frequency report.
http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle1.5/frequency.php?ui=1&sgn=4&cat=02

The contact symbols are used 1763 times in the ASL Dictionary.  However, 
these should be divided between touch, grasp, rub, ...

Symbol 02-01-001-01-01-01

Symbol 02-01-001-01-01-03 should be 02-01-002-01-01-01

The center of symbol 01-01-001-01-01-01 is not the center of the graphic 
but the center of the palm.

Symbol 01-01-001-01-01-05 has the same height and width, but not the 
same center.

Yes, that's what I've been doing.
