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.
