Many organizations doing Braille are already using some of those 
print symbols.   I get books from the Volunteer Braillists and 
Tapists in Wisconsin, (they have a different name but it escapes 
me now) and they always have a page at the front that identifies 
things like the copyright sign and crosshatches, etc.  I do hope 
that it isn't going to be like British Braille with mo 
capitalizations, and some other weird stuff.  It is readable but 
you just have to watch out for those things that are different.  
Of course they spell things differently too.  Lol.  But then so 
do our friends from Canada.  It must be really confusing if 
you're a Canadian and move to the U.S.  or vice versa.  I'd get 
bad marks on spelling because of some of those words.    Peace,    
Debby
