Seriously though, I've seen loglan text, and it's disgusting. It contains capital letters, periods at end of sentence, etc. Maybe this is a touch of xod's "sapir-whorfism" in me, but to me it looks way too much like a european language (i.e., english).
Loglan started out without capitals and periods, but there were so many complaints that JCB eventually came round to the idea, and introduced other unspoken punctuation. However, he expected that there would be a 'resolver' that would be able to reconstruct a sentence from a spoken sentence, that would be able to reconstruct the canonical written form exactly. This was largely achieved, apart from a problem with spoken acronyms, for which I had offered a solution which he did not wish to accept.
If you meant that someone who speaks one such language would find
it more pleasing because it looks more familiar, I might agree with
that. I don't see what your point would be though.
