My understanding is that cdt is the created time as in when the entry was created, mdt is the modified time as in when the entry was last modified, and usr is the user who created the entry. In this case, since there was no user signed in, the IP address is recorded instead of the user's name. I hope this helps. Correct me if I am wrong, Steve. ;-)

    I've seen a couple working examples using SignWriting for 3-d
    modeling, but I believe HamNoSys is further along.

Valerie is correct.  We no longer use SWML.  For each sign, rather than XML markup we are using word strings in ASCII, called Formal SignWriting (FSW).

Rather than SWML, we use Formal SignWriting.
