OK. Fine. My goal is to treat Lojban not like an oddball, but as a full citizen of the community of languages which enjoy fine Latin typography. Perhaps you do not see this as an interesting or valuable goal, but it is nevertheless the goal which I have. 

In my view, just pouring a whole mess of lower-case letters with no punctuation into my Alice template would not result in "fine Latin typography".
