I think it reflects perfectly the lojbanic duality between formality and metaphoric thinking. To me, the grid system is the counterpart of the formal grammar and the flexibility in writing the single letters (prolongating the one that fits best) is the counterpart of the metaphoric thinking induced by tanru (and by zo'e and by the other hundreds of ways we can use to make lojban a human language). I guess we would need more people trying to use it to find if there's anything that is hard to use or potentially unclear and so on. Too bad we'll never really use it, but I think it's worth of being fully documented and it would be extremely good if someone would produce beautiful texts in it. remo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
