That's ok!

The ISWA 2008 is a very large symbolset with sooo much more detail  
than we ever wrote with, or was available to us, before...

Go into SignPuddle and click on SignMaker. Then start exploring Group  
30, for advanced sorting...you can see we have Location symbols for  
the whole body, and also lots of spatial symbols...quite a lot of  
details already...

meanwhile the 45 degree palm facing for some Flat Hands do exist  
already in Group 5 as you know...those are not used that much but they  
are there for anyone who does want to use them...and the Heel of Hand  
symbol, which is an old symbol that has become used again, also gives  
us some details of palm facings we never had before...so the ISWA does  
have a lot to offer right now....

And technically someone could "build" their own 45 degree palm facing  
symbol by choosing a white palm and then adding small lines to create  
the partial fill...Honza...have you considered building your own 45  
degree palm facings in SignPuddle?
