Unless you want to draw the Phoenician symbols, you cannot do that column of the table. A transcriber's note should let the reader know that the column is omitted.

I would not have done it that way either, but it does give the reader all of the information they need.

- The superscript indicator is all that is needed if you have numbered footnotes.
- Braille Formats is a code...as good as the literary course is, it is not a code. If there are differences, Braille Formats would take precedence.
- It is best to not divide web addresses if they will fit on one braille line; less divisions is better - so if you do have to split a web address, try to keep it to as few lines as possible.
- Yes, it should be uncontracted. Letter sequences within a web address should, as often as is possible and still follow the rules, be in the form that the reader would most recognize it. Sometimes it's not possible due to rule about contractions.
- Long numerals and electronic address are not pronunciations so I'm not sure how they apply to this. If you have to split a pronunciation (and that would have to be a pretty long word) you do not use a dot 5 to show that it is continued.

Sorry for the delay in responding...I wanted to check with the rest of the committee on this one.
Formats does not directly address the idea of what IS volume 1. Formats says that volume 1 has the full brief contents and whichever part of the full contents applies to that volume. If you consider the preliminary volume as your volume 1, then they would be there. If you do not consider the preliminary volume, volume 1, they would be placed in volume 1. One committee member brought up the point that the table of contents really isn't applicable (most of the time) until you get the to beginning of text...and the preliminary volume is usually the pre-matter - not the main body of text. So the table of contents wouldn't really be useful there.
But again - it is your decision on what you consider volume 1.
Sorry I don't have a solid answer for this! The committee was split. I guess it's something we will have to look at adding to Formats - or clarifying.

You cannot place a page change indicator on line 25. Your page would change on line 1 of the next braille page. When a page changes on line 1, there is no page change indicator line. Read section 1.11 of Braille Formats for more information on print page numbers.

Yes, you should use transcriber-defined typeform indicators for the crossed out text. That would follow UEB most closely.

The correct wording from above is
both the Print Title Page and the Copyright Page are used to glean information for the Braille Title Pages.
Use the most complete information you can find from the book...get the information from either the print title page or the Copyright page...or sometimes from the front/back covers! 🙂

This really ought to have been posted to the UEB Forum...but I'll answer.
No. According to 10.9.2 you can only use shortforms in longer words when the word is listed in Appendix 1 or meets the criteria of 10.9.3 - and this one is not in the appendix and does not meet the criteria.

After checking with the committee, we all agree that although the brief contents takes the place of the full table of contents, the contents for volume 1 is actually the regular table of contents (whatever part is in the volume). So we would say that "Preface" would be braille page 1.
