pi'e is supposed to be like a decimal point except in a mixed-base system.
It takes a very strange system to put larger place values *after* a decimal

Gee, in a dozen times around on this, that is a new argument.  Not a very powerful one, but new.  
If the real world comes together on this, I suppose Lojban would (eventually) go along, but I won't hold my breath on that first part even.
And remember, it is only the simplest of programs to change Lojban to whatever -- and back, so we are not alking serious problems here.
