I called it "an excellent solution". It is this:

# So here is what xorxes and I agree on:
#
# set: lu'iro lu'ile lu'ila (=lo'i/le'i/la'i)
# quantified: PA PAle PAla
# substance: lu'oiro lu'oile lu'oila
# collective: lu'oro lu'ole lu'ola (=(piro)loi/lei/lai)
# 'unique': lu'airo lu'aile lu'aila 
#
# Stuff still up in the air:
#
# * Is a gadri for Prototypical (or Representative Imaginary, or
# whatever) logically sound?
# If it isn't, then lo'e/le'e are short for lu'airo/lu'aile.
# If it is, then CLL compatibility might argue for lo'e/le'e as
# the Prototypical.
[...]
# I propose, as the solution that would allow the greatest
# economy in usage conditioned only by considerations of
# meaning, that bare lo/le/la should be interpreted as if 
# preceded by lu'oiro.
# That would then give the following table of shortest forms:
#
# set: lo'i le'i la'i
# quantified: PA PAle PAla
# substance: lo le la
# collective: loi lei lai
# 'unique': lu'airo (~lo'e) lu'airole (~ le'e) lu'aila
#
# The default inner PA for bare lo/le/la would be tu'o. An overt
# PA would change the interpretation from substance:
#
# quantified: loPA = su'oloPA lePA = rolePA 
# substance: lo(tu'o) le(tu'o) 
#
# An indeterminable amount of prior usage would be invalidated, 
# but that is a small price to pay, because lo/le/la would at 
# last be assigned to a role where they would properly have highest 
# frequency.
#
# No new gadri would be required. And just 2 new LAhE would be
# required.

I would add that Nick subsequently persuaded me that Prototype
*should* be included, so the proposal would need to add a LAhE
for Prototype and decide whether lo'e/le'e go to Prototype or
Unique.
