Well then, I vote for common examples for the whole dictionary entry :)

I vote strongly against it. We've had a number of occaisions where two
people were independently using one lujvo to mean different things, or
with different place structures. We need the ability to resolve these
differences. Just because someone stuck something in jbovlaste first
doesn't mean it's the best option.
