RE: [lojban] An approach to attitudinals

But plausibly it can mean "I am happy now" about a situation (bridi) that I
am presently considering which is not a present reality, which
pragmatically often means "I would be happy if".

No, "I would be happy if" is very different from "I am happy
that it could be so". Only the second one can be handled with {ui}.
Would-be happiness has to be {a'o} or {au}.

If you are finding it useful, I guess it is useful, as your usage often
sets trends for others.  Your comments above are closer to my thinking than
post others who have posted, which seems to be a rare situation.  I will
revel in it %^).

Or maybe you just misunderstood what I was saying. :)
