This is the new XS "lo", right? It's a nice solution, but I'm really
skeptical that it does not thoroughly defy usage.

I'm pretty sure there must be a significant number of examples where
someone has said "lo broda" and could not be referring to Mr. Broda.
Perhaps the Mr. Broda meaning wouldn't contradict what they said, but
would certainly be more general than they intended.

{la katrin poi mi prami}, who is learning Lojban gradually when she has
time, feels like she's thoroughly understood the difference between
{lo'e} and {lo}, and now people want to somehow make them the same word.

I know that gadri need a serious overhaul, but before I can support
anything like XS I'll need this to be explained.
