Interestingly, Sutton SignWriting, which is used to write a number of Deaf
Sign Languages *as text*, is a subset of Sutton Movement Writing, which
includes a "notation" called DanceWriting. SignWriting is *not* just a
"notation", however. It is a real writing system which is already used in a
number of countries to represent Sign Languages orthographically.
