Options
Experience, cumulative or full years in each domain?
The CISSP for example, I've always understood the 5 years experience required could not be cumulative from several of the domains, e.g. you couldn't have 6 months experience in all 10 domains for a total of 5 years. It had to be a full 5 years in one domain and full 5 years in another domain, for at least 2 domains.
Is this wrong?
The format of the work experience page on the endorsement form makes me think you can add together small amounts of experience in the domains until you're at a minimum of 5 years.

Also on the SSCP information page.
Thirdly, the wording of the endorsement form if you were to be endorsed by someone already certified with ISC2.
