It seems that Standard Lojban should be used for collaborative works, so
that the styles converge upon one style. Yes, in certain cases, this is
unclear, but in most cases we know what is most mainstream, simplest, and
will cause the least surprise.

However, some of us have habits and styles that are not mainstream;
Jorge's lack of ".", novel use of "ji'i", my using capitals for variables,
widely-despised lujvo, etc. We should reserve those for our personal
works.
