I'm not proposing to change Lojban's standard orthography. I'm

What do you mean by 'special'?  If there were a bunch of books already printed in 
standard orthography, then yours would be 'special' in the sense of 'exceptional'.
If your is the ONLY book, then special' means 'only'.  And there lies the crux of 
the problem.  A newbie will be likely to acquire your book quite early on in his 
Lojbanic development and, despite disclaimers, will give your orthography the same 
weight or similar as the official orthography.
