Personally, I don't mind generic references.

You're right, it doesn't help at all, because {lo ci xanto cu xanto}.
"to be an elephant" is a distributive predicate, but Lojban doesn't put 
that job on the selbri. We could try:

lo ci xanto cu xanto gi'e zilkancu li ci lo ka ro xo kau ce'u xanto

And now I'd rather go back to {lo xanto} as the unit. :)
