Trying to follow XXS

[Rob Speer <rspeer@MIT.EDU>]

As someone who hasn't been part of the involved jboske discussions, I
find XXS to be a very pleasing gadri system. In general, I like the idea
of changing the meaning of {lo PA} and letting the other gadri keep
something like their original meanings.

(See
http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=XXS:%20Extended%20XS%20proposal
for what I'm referring to.)

However, some things strike me as bafflingly odd about it. I'd mention
this on the Wiki, but there's already such a teeming mass of commentary
around all the proposed gadri systems (and, as far as I can tell, rather
limited RecentChanges functionality on Tiki) that any new comments would
be lost in the mess.

* What's all this about xod-collectives? Is there some reason that lVi
should be this construct instead of the usual fuzzy collective?
* Why is alternative B there? If you want to make a distributive
into a collective, you should just use {lu'o}, not rearrange the
meanings of several cmavo to make way for your new word that does this.
I'm no conservative, but that's an absurd amount of tinkering.
* What's with the change to MOI tacked on? It seems like a good idea if
I understand it correctly (let {memimoi} be just {mimoi}), but what does
it have to do with gadri? Shouldn't it be a separate issue?
