Well, I want to get at the data myself so as to write one or more

I think the data in jbovlaste is meant to be freely accessible.
The reason it isn't is not so much that anyone is trying
to hoard it but just that nobody has had the time
to do the necessary work for putting it in a suitable format.
But you may want to talk with Jay Kominek or Robin Powell
about that, I'm just a user. noralujv.txt is really outdated
compared with jbovlaste.
The real problem is, a decent format hasn't been devised. Nobody in
their right mind *wants* to use the noralujv.txt format for anything.
If someone would come up with an XML DTD/Schema/whatever for Lojban
definitional data, I'll write the exporter, and you'll have your data.
So far, nobody has been sufficiently interested.
The SQL schema is at: http://jbovlaste.lojban.org/design/jbovlaste.sql
