i think its extremely abbreviated and slightly in slang, as for the numbers and dash's they must of been added later in his life once his intelligence increased.
how many children can do even slightly complex encrytion/decrytion in their heads? not very many i would say...

The Kryptos mailing list has been looking at this. There's some good analysis going on there, although it has quietened down at the moment. The lack of any other examples isn't helping. The lack is also surprising given that he was meant to have done this sort of thing since being a child, so there ought to be other sample texts to analyse.
