I am doing just that for almost all my Signuno signs
(where glosses will correspond to roots not words).
For me an absence of contact sign means "very light
flowing touch" (whereas adding a * would mean weakly
emphatic touch with mini-pause to mean noun-singular).
 Maybe omitting the contact sign is okay for some sign
languages (for Signuno it feels right - adding those
*'s feels too busy).
