Claims 1 and 2 are especially helpful to me as shown in jbofi'e.  
Lojban is the only language where I know I can automatically generate  
a gloss of any grammatical discourse and actually pick it apart with  
my rather basic level of understanding. This is extremely helpful as  
I'm learning the language, since I can do hypotheticals like "how  
does it parse if I take out the {bo}?".

For comparison, Google's Language Tools is close for natural  
languages, but it has trouble with complex expressions (surprise!).
