I am curious what others think of this convention of writing. It makes sense to me. Would it still make sense if it were written vertically? Another question is how would this affect searching for a sign? If I wanted to search for an sign that has the INTENSE facial expression or TOPIC facial expression, how would that work? Would we need to define a different "layer" to be searched for these kind of expressions which affect more than one sign?
