As a layperson, not knowing anything about the formal grammar, I say we 
absolutely should keep it in there. Though it may be of no use to me, The 
Complete Lojban Language is not complete without the full grammar. Also, as 
a less technical and more psychological argument, it reinforces the idea 
that Lojban is 100% syntactically unambiguous to people who don't know 
anything about the parser. The fact that it can be interpreted (don't know 
if that's the right word there) by a computer is one of the reasons why I'm 
learning Lojban, and having tangible evidence of that is pretty powerful.
