>>From my point of view there is no need whatsoever to add another (higher- more
subtle) level to the meaning of the signs. If we would do another decision had
to be made not only what kind of contact but in addition to that let the strokes
follow the direction of the moving finger .. or something like this. Thinking
of my students they would have to add this to their “design –
process”. Well and they still have a difficult time to pick one symbol
afer the next, to vote for the correct variation, to keep in mind several other
“spelling agreements” … <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>So we should ask …
is this option of rotating the contact symbol of any higher value to describe a
given performance of a sign more accurately. I have my doubts … Well it
shows definitely that Steve is an artist in programming … smile …
but who has any doubt about that- smile <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

and the things (fingers) that the brush is between, are oriented the same way.<br>

But for simplicity of the writing system, I not so sure. This is adding another
level of complications / choices<br>
