Hi SignWriting List,<br>
<br>
I have released a new revision of
draft-slevinski-formal-signwriting. This updated revision focuses on
the technical details of the character encoding model.<br>

SignWriting is a character encoding model for Sutton
SignWriting, a script for writing sign languages recognized
under ISO 15924 script code "Sgnw". It defines a sign as a
two-part word, represented as a string of characters processable
by regular expressions, optimized for display, searching,
sorting, and text processing. This document specifies the
character sets, grammar, token patterns, and technical
integration for Formal SignWriting in ASCII (FSW) and
SignWriting in Unicode (SWU), including styling, query language,
and transformations. The specification is intended for
implementation and evaluation, with unrestricted distribution.</span><br>

<p>The draft is technically dense and intended for programmers and
those interested in implementing SignWriting for their
projects. I have covered these topic on the SignWriting Stream
YouTube channel and in the SignWriting Symposium presentations. I
am considering a new set of videos going over each of the sections
in detail.</p>
<p>I am interested in any feedback or ideas about the draft. It
would be helpful to know if anything is confusing and what could
be explained in more detail.</p>
<p>Regards,<br>
