I'm with you guys ... not that we're voting or anything. I just think a lot of the shortcuts in Lojban have been applied specifically to high-traffic areas, for obvious reasons. Gasnu simply needs the one-syllable rafsi more than cacra. Furthermore, acronyms need the capital letters more than stressed names do. Acutes are a pain to type, but stressed names will almost certainly not be as common as acronyms. BTW, hexadecimals were mentioned on the wiki. Since they hardly ever appear in normal prose, probably only the guys of the math end will ever care about it (does li ABC = li abubycy or li daufeigai?). Anyway, Lojbanic mathematicians will have a lot more symbol problems than that to take care of. mu'omi'e .okus. ------------------------ Yahoo!
