ISO 639-3 code for International Sign Language--a good idea? How to proceed?

[Albert Bickford]

Someone privately pointed out to me that a summary of Rachel Rosenstock's 
thesis is available at 
http://gri.gallaudet.edu/Publications/ragu_fall2005.pdf. I found this very 
helpful in answering some of my questions, particularly the relationship 
between Gestuno and International Sign. (Although the WFD's dictionary of 
Gestuno served as the historical impetus for developing International Sign, 
there is very little Gestuno vocabulary still used in International Sign. 
Instead, International Sign tends to use highly-iconic vocabulary, 
especially when the same sign is used in several different sign languages 
for a given concept.)
