Oh! I changed some gismu—not in content at all, but in formatting.  
Namely, all the "metric prefix" gismu like kilto had weird, malformed  
expressions that clearly meant to be 10^a-certain-power—maybe they got  
messed up when they were imported. I corrected all of them to be  
$10^{n}$ wherever I could. Is that okay? They still have all the same  
words, except that the exponentials show up nicely formatted, with  
superscript powers. For example, see http://jbovlaste.lojban.org//dict/kilto 
.
