I'll speak up (briefly, since it wasn't requested) for that side: I
won't buy a book claiming to be Lojban that uses seriously
non-Lojban-standard typographic conventions, and I will decry it to
anyone who asks.

There is an exception, however: I care very little about how stress
is indicated.  Stress marking (specifically between using caps or
using an accent mark) has been a long-standing point of largely
non-acrimonious discussion; as far as I can tell, that's an issue on
which the community is somewhat divided, but no-one really cares all
that much.

Contrast this with using captials to mark the beginning of sentences
or proper names which, as And says, is very much not-OK to most
Lojbanists.
