Deaf Matters

[sarcasmo@fuse.net]

Hello.  This may be an unusual request.

I find the concept of HumanML interesting, and it led me to wonder
if any discussions about Deaf users (such as myself) has appeared
on the lists.  I say 'unusual', because American Sign Language, (ASL)
for one, is not textually based.  However, I am sick and tired of the
Deaf never being accounted for, either.  I've joked about coming
up with an RFC-like outline for DeafML or ASLML (or maybe mildly
threatened) in the past.

Any thoughts?  Should I just bring this issue to the commitee?

P.S. I did do a search through the 'htdig' form on your archive
site with the keywords 'deaf', 'Deaf', and 'American Sign Language'
and got zippo returns.

Thanks for taking the time to read my letter.
