[Mediawiki-i18n] Seeking code reviewers for SignWriting extension

Hoi,

I am the developer of the SignWriting MediaWiki Plugin. It enables a 
SignWriting viewer for MediaWiki software. It supports an International 
community and can be used for any sign language.

I just released a radically simplified version of the extension in 
Gerrit: 20 lines of PHP code and 50 lines of Javascript.
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/extensions/SignWritingMediaWikiPlugin.git;a=summary

I am hoping someone can look over the code and point out any flaws.

I'm hoping it can be deployed on Incubator. I reopened a bug from long ago.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22216

The PHP code makes a call to the Resource Module to load 
"signwriting_thin.js" (3 KB file). The Javascript runs on the client 
side only if Formal SignWriting is detected on the page.

There shouldn't be any security problems for the server running this 
extension and there is a miniscule cost to the user's browser.

The MediaWiki extension is a wrapper for the SignWriting Thin Viewer 
available on http://SignPuddle.com

Thanks for your consideration,
∼Steve
