My understanding is that a space in lojban writing indicates an optional pause. That is, one must pause at a {.}, one may pause at a { }, and one must not pause at any other place. Therefore, a lojban passage written down with no spaces and only showing stress may be the most accurate way to describe that sentence as uttered in one instance, but it might be inaccurate with regard to another instance.
