except that wouldn't someone still have to decide from the
semantic content, whether the JE-lujvo or the BE-lujvo
conventions should be followed?
Certainly. But the time-consuming lookup would be eliminated, and the
typing in standard format made fairly rigorous (and a really sophisticated
tool of the kind I am NOT asking for, would allow people to click on places
to delete or combine them or reorder them according to the relevant rules -
that might be a good LONG-TERM project that might involve significant
playing around to find the ideal interface, but I don't want work held up
waiting for people to concoct the ideal user interface - what I suggested
eliminates time-consuming typing and lookup and encourages a standard format).
If there is more than one standard order for places, we obviously have to
choose one or the other order as a default for listing all the places,
presumably the more common one. Someone can look at the lujvo already
defined to see what is the most common order.
