I think that's a great idea, as from what I know about SignWriting (- yes, Valerie, I have actually started learnig! - ) you cannot order signs in a sort of 'alphabetical' way, which you can in Stokoe or HamNoSys, for example. So I think that would actually comlpy best with what sign languages are: having an alphabetical/phonological system to order by and a useful actual writing system to represent signs in a dictionary. And this has got nothing to do with 'blending' systems; it's just making use of the best of two systems for different purposes. My share for today. Have a good one.
