Well, I am not sure what an intensional article is; I suppose an article used to make a reference to an intensional object out of a bridi or bridi tail (suitably modified if need be).  This, of course, leaves open *which* intension object it is: proposition, property, event,....  What, in short, is lo'e cakla?  (I have a problem with what an intensional bit of chocolate would be.)
On the rare occasions when xorxes has deigned to say something about these critters clear enough to give a glimmer of what he means, the glimmer has always shown what looks to be a perfectly ordinary intensional context ({nu, du'u, ...}) usually with unmarked subject raising.  Now, I'm not sure that is what it is or that it will always give that view, but until we get a pretty clear statement from xorxes, I'm sticky with the history.
