SignText license opinions

Hi Stuart,
 
This is STML version 1.  This is compatible with the current SignText 
and SignPuddle 1.5. 
 
I think the DTD would be:
<!ELEMENT stml (sign+)>
<!ELEMENT sign (symbol)+>
<!ATTLIST sign lane (-1|0|1) "0">
<!ELEMENT symbol (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST symbol x CDATA #REQUIRED>
<!ATTLIST symbol y CDATA #REQUIRED>
 
 
In 2008, I'd like to come up with a STML version 2 that includes symbol 
color & size, Unicode, images, and linking (internal and external).  For 
version 2, I'm open to suggestions.  Maybe we should look at adding a 
SignWriting extension to some open document format or markup.
 
Regards,
-Steve
