SignWriting Question...from Deaf Church in Michigan

I'm trying to make sure I understand the question.

A similar thing that happens in spoken languages is holding the vowels
like for example saying 'wooooooooow'. You could hold the vowel for a very
long time and in that case the 'o' in 'wow' would even be longer than
that. In colloquial English you can write it, just as I did here. However
the standard rules of English do not include a rule for this, and I think
the same would apply for Sign langauges in the future...what do you think?
