One of the beauty of Lojban is that you can be ambiguous at will.
I assume you're not suggesting to change the rule that says that a
single brivla is to ne intended as an observative. so I would read it
as "look! what a stop!" Now, maybe the context of you speaking to
me,with nobody else could make me think tha you actually meant {zo'e
sisti} and, with another jump of fantasy, I could also imagine you
refer to me. But personally i would never think you had assumed {ko}!
Why should i?

I don't get what problem are you trying to solve by not using {ko}
could you elaborate on that?
