The fu'ivla that go into the dictionary should not be concocted
on the fly, they should be given as much consideration as the
other words in the dictionary. And they are fully lojban words, 
despite their origin as borrowings. Other than that, I agree with 
the above, which does not require gismu to be a definitively closed 
class.
