I'm actually a big fan of fragments; I use {to be} and {to noi} a lot, 
and it's also nice when you want to add onto someone else's sentence, e.g.

A: mi viska lo pendo
B: be ma
A: la .djan.

Even fragment {na} is sort of semi-common as a slang thing; in the 
experimental grammar it was extended to allow multiple NA in a row as a 
fragment as well.

I actually frequently miss a method to use a fragmental ?{to JOI SUMTI 
toi}, but sadly it would clash with {.i joi}, so I'm stuck with {to ri 
JOI SUMTI toi), which doesn't always work.

I find fragments very useful for spontaneous human speech.
