Stefan, At first, I was beginning to think the gap meant that the thumb was beyond the heel of the hand. But then I realized that the thumb is so close to the heel that it could be thought of as on the same plane. Now if I was showing fingers bending down in the heel view, they would be beyond the heel and a gap would seem to be natural there. It's a common practice in art and drafting to leave such a gap when indicating something is beyond. Of course, that begs the standard - for if we show the thumb not gapped and the fingers gapped, is that better than setting a rule that all lines representing digits (fingers and thumb) when in the heel view need to have a gap?
