If it is a word in Lojban then it is part of some selma'o.  A few=20
selma'o in the current (YACC baseline) language are necessarily=20
processed by a preparser, and do not even have stated rules in the grammar.

SEI can handle whatever we want it to handle, by definition, so long as=20
it can be stated in Lojban.  It is possible in SEI to state that the=20
current text is to be rewritten in reverse and reparsed on that basis,=20
or any other silly rule, for that matter.

Similarly, the limits on vocatives are whatever we deem them to be.  One=20
can probably come up with cases that cause problems under any rule (like=20
what happens if you interrupt someone's incomplete vocative or=20
metalinguistic statement).  But I suspect that could happen no matter=20
what solution you come up with.  (Does Lojban have to accept a Godel's=20
Theorem limitation?)
