It seems that Standard Lojban should be used for collaborative works, so that the styles converge upon one style. Yes, in certain cases, this is unclear, but in most cases we know what is most mainstream, simplest, and will cause the least surprise. However, some of us have habits and styles that are not mainstream; Jorge's lack of ".", novel use of "ji'i", my using capitals for variables, widely-despised lujvo, etc. We should reserve those for our personal works. -- Before Sept. 11 there was not the present excited talk about a strike on Iraq. There is no evidence of any connection between Iraq and that act of terrorism. Why would that event change the situation? -- Howard Zinn
