My preference is to only use x_1, x_2, etc. The other info
is useful to understand how the lujvo was constructed, but
it doesn't really add anything to the understanding of the
lujvo itself. For the final presentation, I think only x's
is best. Now, jbovlaste is being used not just for 
presentation, but also for judging and voting on definitions, 
and for that purpose seeing how the lujvo was constructed 
might be helpful.

BTW, would it be possible to have some statistics on jbovlaste
definitions, such as how many words of each type have already
been defined in each language? It's hard to tell how much info
is already there, and seeing some numbers would give us some
idea of what progress there is.
