Initial draft of the Modern SignWriting specification

[Bill Reese]

That looks great Steve.  In the PDF, 7.D, "Horizontal Layout" (page 23 
of 42), it says "Signs with head symbols are centered in the upper head 
lane."  In the example, though, you just show signs that have heads at 
the top and the heads are centered, not the whole sign.
