ASL is most certainly a first-class language, but it _must be written_ to be usable in a text-based system like Wikipedia.
Where does it say in the goals of the WMF that everything is to be text based? It says that we are "dedicated to encouraging the growth, development and distribution of free, multilingual content, and to providing the full content of these wiki-based projects to the public free of charge." Not even the Wiki principles make it compulsary to be text based.
Do you know of any wiki-like system that is not text-based ? It's a very serious technical, not ideological, problem.
