We should have had a Main form and a Late form (both using traditional
graphs.)
If we wish to include both Middle and Late Cornish, we must have two
versions -- so no single form is possible but the variants can be
written into a single standard. The name "Standard Written Form" is OK,
except that KS uses the word Standard.
