I think concerted rapprochement would be a good thing; a sign of health
and goodwill & so on, just as schism is often a sign of malaise. As for the 
baseline thing, you could unify the language by having the same 2 cmavo in 
both languages meaning "this is loglan" and "this is lojban", and then see
what else could be done from there on.
