If you want to start making notes for the ISWA 2012, please go ahead.  
Valerie and Adam are documenting the ISWA 2008 so you'll be getting more 
and more information to work with.

The ISWA 2008 will not be changing.  I highly doubt the ISWA will be 
revisited in the near future.  We have limited time and resources and we 
are moving forward.  Your attitude reinforces the idea that we are not 
ready for Unicode yet unless people accept the idea that no writing 
system is perfect and that knowledge can be gained by understanding the 
imperfections. 

The ISWA 2008 was a labor of love.  We already had a formal review and 
that review ended last year.  The ISWA 2008 is the current standard for 
SignWriting.

Regards,
-Steve
