    At first, I was beginning to think the gap meant that the thumb was
    beyond the heel of the hand.  But then I realized that the thumb is
    so close to the heel that it could be thought of as on the same
    plane.   Now if I was showing fingers bending down in the heel view,
    they would be beyond the heel and a gap would seem to be natural
    there.  It's a common practice in art and drafting to leave such a
    gap when indicating something is beyond.   <br>
    <br>
    Of course, that begs the standard - for if we show the thumb not
    gapped and the fingers gapped, is that better than setting a rule
    that all lines representing digits (fingers and thumb) when in the
    heel view need to have a gap?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
