Wow!  That's a very nice tool they have there.  I can't promise you
anything before the weekend, but I'll try to do it on Saturday night or
Sunday.

My bad, I didn't realize that was an admin-only URL. Nobody has to log
in. Use this instead:

http://lojban.dabbledb.com/publish/lojbanwordlist

As for delimiters, you can use whatever that document is already using
for delimiters now. I don't care what it is so long as it works.
