Sutton SignWriting/DanceWriting

Has anyone compared Labanotation and 
Sutton DanceWriting? There's quite a
comprehensive site about Sutton at 

http://www.dancewriting.org/

which brings up a couple of issues:

1. Is Labanotation a dying language 
with limited usability in the modern 
world?

2. Does it make sense to come up with 
a new notational system that takes the 
best from different notation systems 
so that it is supports a full range 
of movement applications?

The Sutton system includes 5 sections:
Dance, Signing (for the deaf), Mime, 
Sports, and Science. What does 
Labanotation have that Sutton doesn't?
