[lojban] Archivist/Founders: {ri'a nai} vs. {se mau nai}

[Robin Lee Powell <lojban-out@lojban.org>]

I'm looking at the BAI* cmavo, and I notice that {ri'a nai} (and
{ki'u nai}, and so on) all mean something like "despite (tagged
sumti)", whereas the only non-causative BAI NAI sumti ({se mau nai}
and {se ma'e nai} mean something like "it is not the case that
(tagged sumti)".

The "despite" thing seems to be a huge wart, and I'm wondering if
you guys had anything in mind for BAI+NAI *in general*.
